The most recent authority on teaDavid Crolc. 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 of 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 reaiIso the superiority of this method, and tlio following remarks or Mr crole in referring to the much advertised system of 'bulking and blending:— 'Here (in London; the tea undergoes "bulking"—that a certain numbor ot chests are emptied out on the Iloor 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 or people connected with tea to the terrible 111 u.sa(.;t> tea Is treated in the warehouses. For instance, what is the gooo of planters so arranging the manufacture nnd packing ot tea that the utmost carti is paid to every detail in the endeavour to securo first class tea carefully graded and pricked, if the tea Is to be STAMPED Into boxes by the boot shod fet-t 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 clay's work for cine man was 801b or 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 i» pure, and NOT BI^EXDKD Wl'iii INDIAN. CHINA, or OTHKK TEAS. Its sales are increasing by leaps and bounds, testifying to its appreciation by thoso who recognise Purity und Economy. ••57EALAND1A" TDOOT&1 THE LEADING BRAND IN NEW ZEALAND* NO RISK IN BUYINO THIS BRAND.
