TEA BLENDING. A N eminent Tea Expert, writing in the " Tea, aud Trade Journal, sfiya : —"Tea blending is a scientific art and the acme of the art is to ' lift' blends up, not to leprets them to a dull averago. The expert will blend low-priced, medium, and fine quality teas in such a way as to make a 'line liquovin ; /,' not a medium cup. The great F' j ".rvt i.s to select for your 'fetching up' a. tea that can dominate the bleu*). Kor this, gqeat experience ai l a hu-rii'y trained palate are ossonmJ. No jiard nd fast rules cm hj" kivi d.nvn, but there is a great kim?.-* to he f r«iii'"i ov the succeseful is dividual who by ius skill can make, for two or t Inee ucice a pound I§SS money, ?. blond that shall ecual the more expensive one of the inexpert blend ••" In :V;v/ Z'iil-i-d expert tea blende is are foiv r.~'l f '• between, and whilo there .ire many hra.'v.h- of blended teas on the market, few* £.re the work of real experts. For the most part the teas are mixed in ! a haphazard kind of way, the main object J boing the obtaining of a maximum pro- ! fit. Uniformity of quality or flavour under such conditions is impossible, and purity problematical.

There is one Ann in New Zealand who have for many yehf3 been selling the finest blended teas in Australasia. Blended by an expert of great experience and unique skill, who also lias the profit advantage of his firm's superior buying and iinuoithi j; capabilities, these teas are undoubtedly very fine examples jf the blender's art, and at the various prices at which they are sold they are undeniably the best value obtainable in "he Dominion. We refer to " Tiger'' Teas. That they have for so many years retained their supremacy and great popularity in the face of increased comletition is evidence of the public's critical abilities. The people of Now Zea- \' :;o arc, on the whole, good judges of tj i, and as " Tiger " Tea is still the pick ■t' the great majority, nothing further iced bo added, except that they are ob-v-nnable from all stores at Is -l-d, Is 6d, s Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per lb. That at Is •d per lb is the most favoured at present, i t is a very fine tea, and those who caniot afford the higher priced "Tiger" 'eas find it quite as good as other brands f tea at 2s a lb. Those, however, who >re compelled to buy a low-priced ;ea will get the best value for their uoney, both in quality and flavour, if hey buy the low-priced " JTigei" hlends.—(!.).
