This is really a delicious cake for afternoon teas, and if served with "Dragon" Brand Tea, the pleasure of the afternoon function is greatly enhanced. The "Dragon" brand 'tea costs 2s 8d per lb., and it is in a class by itself. It possesses an "exquisite flavour; it is a robust tea of full body and great strength, while the texture is very fine. For those who like a really high-grade tea and do not mind the expense, the "Dragon" brand is strongly recommended. All the leading storekeepers of the district sell this brand of tea. "New Crescent" Tea at 2s per lb. is another excpllwt brand.
