AN eminent Tea Expert, writing in the " Tea find Coffee Trade Journal, says :—"Tea Mending is a scientific art and the acme of the art'is to ' lift' blends up, not to depress thern to a dull average. The export will blend low-priced, medium, and fine-quality teas in such a way as to make a ' fine liquoring,' not a medium cup. The great secret is to select tor your 'fetching up' grade a tea that can 'dominate the blend. For this, great experience and a highly trained palate are essential. No hard nd fast rules crn be laid down, but there is a great prize to be gained by the succeseful individual who by his skill can make, for two or three pence a pound less money, a blend that shall c.-'ual the more expensive one of the inexpert blender."

In New Zealand expert tea blenders are few and far between, and white there are many brands of blended teas on the market, few are the work of real experts.. For the most part the teas arc 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. There is one firm in New Zealand who have fjr many years been selling the finest blended teas in Australasia. Mended 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 aro 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 Now Zealane are, on tho whole, good judges of tea, and as " Tiger " Tea is stili the pick of the great majority, nothing further need be added, except that they are obtainable from all stores at Is 4<l, 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 ae 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 Qualify and flavour, if they buy the 1-jw-priccd " Tige.r" blends.—(t).
