AN eminent Tea Expert, writing in the " Tea and Coifee Trade Journal, says : —"Tea blending is a scientific art and tlheacme of the art is to 'lift' blends up, not to depress them to a dull average. The expert will blend low-priced, medium, and fine quality teas in such a way as to make a 'tine liquoring," not a medium cup. The great «t-.-ret is to select for your 'fetching up' g-.i.de a, tea that can dominate i.ht i>i>-td. k'or this, great experience n.hd a highly trained palate are fs«emial.

Ip New Zf.-ciln.-nd expert tea blenders are Jew »nd f \-r und while there are many I-rands of Oiended teas on the market, few n» r.ho work of real experts. For the most part the teas are mixed in a haphazard kind of way, the main object being the obtaining of a maximum profit. Uniformity of quality or flavour under such conditions is impossible, and parity jproblematical. There is one firm in New Zealand who have fjr many years been selling the finest blended teas in Australasia. Blended by an expert of great experience and unique skill, who also has the great advantage of his firm's superior bu'yiug and iiUDortuig capabilities, these teas are undoubton y very fine examples of the blender's art, and at the various prices at which they are sold they are undeniably the best value obtainable in the Dominion. We refer to " Tiger" j Teas. That they have for so many years retained their supremacy and great popularity in the face of increased coinpetition is cridence of the public's critical abilities. The people of New Zealane are, on the whole, good judges of t.n, and as " Tiger " Tea is stsll the pick ot the great majority, nothing further . eed bo added, except that they are obtainable from all stores at Is 4d, Is 6d, Is Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per lb. That at Is 8 1 per lb is the most favoured at presentIt is a very fine tea, and those who cannot afford the higher priced "Tiger" Teas find it quite as good as other brands of tea at 2s a lb. 'Those, however, who are compelled to buy a low-priced tea will get the best value for their money, both in quality and flavour, if they buy the low-priced "{Tiger" blends.—(l).
