Tea merchants. NELSON, IVIOATE, AND CO.'S BLENDED TEAS VERSVS INDIAN TEAS. FROM a lato paragraph and ndvortisomentin tho "New Zealand Herald," we notice a serious error in the remarks about the incrcaso of imports In Indian Teas. We can assure all interested that tbe consumption of Indian Tea has decreased to an alarming extent; so much so that last season tho Melbourne and Now Zealand markets wcro glutted, and good, sound, sweet 'leas were soiling ponce per )b, below cost, and this year tho imports aro many thousands of cases below last, making it a very difficult matter to buy oven a few hundred cases. Tho S:\mo advertisement alhidos to the Introduction of Indians into New Zealand, with regard to which wo beg to draw the attention of the public to tho following local that appeared some tlmo back in tho "Lyttollon Times," showing NELSON, MOATS, & Co. to be the Largest Importers, and consequently tb» Largest Sellers, of Indian Tea in Now Zoaland. Wo do not wish to lun Indian Tea down, as it is without doubt, when carefully ftred, &c, a most useful Tea to thoao only »xperienced In the art of Blending China and lsiium Teas. Tbt Tea by itself will never take She place of China or Blended Teas, as only abs-ai 10 7. of tho Tea Drinkers are ever able tadrink evon the finest Darjeellng and Assam kiiuls. In England tho consumption of Blendod Tea has increased to a greater oxtont than any original imported tea. " The largest importation of Indian Teas to New Zealand was made last month by Messrs NT3XSON. MO ATE, AND CO. H cvnsitfed of over I.SOO packages (chests and half-chests) qf Pekoes and Pekoe Smt-.hoiw. from the wellknown districts of Cachar. Assam, Darjeeling, Shylett, Chiltagong, and Vovars. ITe are informed this is one of the many shipments during the year, intended, for iis« in blending with numerous varieties of A'eiw Season China Teas."
