TEA BLENDING. AN eminent Tea Expert, writing in the "Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, says :—"Tea blending is a scientific art and the acme 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 ' fine liquoring/ not it medium cup. The great secret is to select for your 'fetching up' grade a tea that can dominate the blend. For this, great experience and a highly trained palate are essential. IS T o hard nd fast rules can be laid down, but (.here is a great prize to be gained by the succeseful individual who. by his skill can make, for two or thi.ee peuce a pound less money, a blend that shall e-fiial the more expensive one cf the inexpert blender." In New Zealand expert tea blenders are few and far between, aud wbilo there are many brands of blended teas on the market, few are the 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 purity problematical.

'1 here is one firm m New Zealand who liavo fjr many years been selling the finest blended teas in Australasia. Ulended by an expert of grt>at experience and unique skill, who also has the great advantage of his firm's superior buying and importing capabilities, these teas are undoubtedly 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'' Teas. That they have for so many years retained their supremacy and great popularity in the face of increased competition is evidence of the public's critical abilities. Iho people of Now Zeale are, on the whole, good judges of tea, and as " Tiger " Tea is stdl the pick of the great majority, nothing t'utther nerd bo added, exifjt that they are obtainable from all stores at Is 4d, Is 6d, Is Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per ii\ That at Is 8:1 per lb is the most lavouredat present, ft is a very fine tea, and those who cannot afford the higher } r ced " Tiger " 'Jeas find it quite as guod as other brands of tea at 2s a lb. Those, however, who are compelled lo buy a low-priced tea will get the value for th-ir money, both in quality and flavour, if they buy the ?<j\v-piiced " Tiger" blends.—('.).

Be sure you get Bennington's Irish Moss. Most chemists and re* tailers will give you Bonn* ington's Irish Moss directly you ask for it. Here and there, however, you will find one who does not maintain the dignity of the profession, and who will try to sell you a substitute on which he makes a larger profit. You know the insidious argument, " Yes, I stock Bonnington's, but have you tried ray own mixture. It is 'just as good.'" Allow no one to deceive you., There is no remedy SO good as Bonnington's Irish Moss. For over 46 years it has been the stand* ard cough medicine.
