NELSON, MOATE'S TEAS. Many people often wonder how it is that New Zealand is noted for having better tea than any other country. Everyone returning from a trip abroad | remarks upon the fact that the tea , they had while away was scarcely fit | to drink, and certainly not equal to Nelson, Moate, and Co.'s Pure Teas. The reason of this is that teas of one kind are only grown in very small quantities (every picking from the same trees is different from the last, according to the season), and it is therefore impossible to secure any quantity. Consequently, no one except a speciallytrained "expert, possessing a natural taste, can possibly blend the different teas so as to give the public a better and more palatable article. Mr Nelson has had nearly a quarter of a century blending tea in New Zealand, and many years' "previous training in England, and so Nelson, Moate, and Co.'s teas are always good, and of the highest standard. Nelson, Moate, and Co., Ltd., are in the enviable position of being practically the only firm in Australasia selling tea alone, which is the strongest proof of the quality of their blends. In spite of the keen competition of the sixty firms who are importing tea into New Zealand, and cutting prices, giving coupons, and resorting to numerous dodges for selling other teas when Nelson, Moate, and Co.'s are asked for, the only teas which continue to have the largest sale of Ceylon and blended teas in the Southern Hemisphere are Nelson, Moate. and Co.'s.— Times."—
