The most recent authority on teaDavid Crole, in his book just published— throws a Hood of light on many matters worth knowing in regard to the universal beverage.of the people. In India and Ceylon the process ot drying, rolling, and packing in chests is all done by machinery, and some factories, such as Suratura, also complete their work by packing it in live, ten, pound, and half pound packages. The connoisseur in Tea will therefore realise the superiority of this method, and the following remarks of Mr Crole in referring to the much advertised system of 'bulking and blending:— 'Here (in London) the tea undergoes "bulking"—that a certain number of chests are emptied out on the floor and mixed up to a certain extent; it is put back into the boxes again, being stampen in by men, which cannot improve the tea. 'I feel bound to call the attention ot people connected with tea to the terrible ill usage tea is treated in the warehouses. For instance, what Is the gooa of planters so arranging the manufacture and packing of tea that the utmost, care is paid to every detail in the endeavour to secure lirst class tea carefully graded and packed, if the tea Is to be STAMPED into boxes by the boot shod feet of the people employed in the blending and packing warehouses?' AN UNTHINKABLE PRACTICE.. 'Before the days of machinery the tea leaves were rolled by the hands into balls, and the operation is still so conducted in China and Japan. A good day's' work for one man was 801b of leaves rolled. Modern machines are however, capable of turning out two or three times that amount in an hour, and the machines do not PERSPIRE." SURATURA is prepared by machinery, it is pure, and NOT BLENDED WITH INDIAN, CHINA, or OTHER TEAS. Its sales are increasing by leaps and bounds, testifying: to its appreciation by those who recognise Purity and.Economy. Auckland Gas Company (LIMITED).
