TEA BLENDING. eminent Tea Expert, writing in the "Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, says : —"Tea blending is a scientific art •and tiheacme of the art is to ' lift 5 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 secret is to select for your 'fetching up' grado a tea that can dominate like blend. For this, great experience and a highly trained palate are essential. No nard nd fast rules can be laid down, but there is a great prize to foe gained by thn sucoeseful individual wli© by his skill can iciake, for two or three pence a pound less money, a blend thjnt fihall ermal the more expensive one of the inexpert blender." In New Zealand expert tea blenders are few and far between, and wliilo there are many brands of blended teas on the market", few are the work of real experts. Fol- the most part the teas are mixed in a haphazard kind of way, the main object being the obtaining of a maximum pi'ofit. Uniformity of quality or flavour under such conditions i« impossible, and purity j»"<3blematical.

There is one firm in New Zealand who have many years been selling the 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 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 far so many years retained their supremacy and great popularity in the face of increased competition is evidence of the public's critical abilities. The people of New Zealane are, on the whole, good judges of tea, and as " Tiger " Tea is still the pick of the great majority, nothing further need be 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 8d per lb is the most favoured at present. It 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).
