COFFEE,—TEA.
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PRESS."
Sir, —In your issue of this morning reference is made to coffee-tea. I shall bo. glad if you will allow mo space to corroborate the testimony of tho Australian who directs attention to it. 1 was for some years in the Civil Service in Fiji, and much of my work necessitated passago by sea in the Government barge, pulled by six men, under a hot sun, and sometimes against strong head winds. This induced great thirst, and I tried tea., coffee, and cocoa as a beverage. Eventually, havin"been at work on -a coffee plantation myself at one time, and knowing the virtues of coffee-tea, I gathered some of tho young 1 leaves and prepared it for my men. After trial they found that it was more sustaining than any dnnk they had used previously. It has the advantage, unliko tea, of bein" better the longer it is brewed. I f (mn d also that it can be taken at night with safety, and does not produce sleeplessness. IMt can bo introduced into New Zealand, it will be a boon to many.—\ours, etc.,
*o n c , JAMES BLYTH 49 Ranfurly street. '
