j The Third Article of a j Series dealing with a j question which vitally j affects every housewife. ' ■ The increased demand for tea to | day is due to to the fact that hug T quantities are wanted for the 2. I. million men under arms. Tin 11 Heads of the Armies of the work; i know that there is no drink sc : stimulating and beneficial, ant i. hence thev must have tea for j; their men no matter what it costs { Then, too, at the stroke of r j: pen, the great Russian Nation ha? I beea turned into a tea drinking sj' people, and the money previously II spent on Vodka is now available | for the purchase of, tea. 1 But there is only a limited 1 supply of tea and that supply is not I sufficient to fill the present re--8 quiiements. I Hence at the tea auctions in p Ceylon it has - risen in price a. month by month, until to-day it | costs the packer 2hd to 3d. per lb. i' more than in August last. This, of course, affects New , Zealand, very greatly, for the finest I tea in the world has been sold [j here at prices which carinot be i j equalled. i j Although this seems a bold ['statement. i£ is one that will jfl bear the closest investigation. For M instance, a .great proportion of ' the tea imports to England consist | of what is known as "red stalk'-' tea, [! the lowest possible grade—so low M that ■it is prohibited throughout ! Australasia. Yet even this lowest ! grade in England' at 1/6 or ij more per lb.,"while for fine teas of ;| the quality. of "Amber Tips," 2/8 pj to, 3/4 per lb. is asked. J _ Tea experts the world over are astonJ isheda^the remarkable quality, flavour, '! fragrance and value 1 given in. "Amber ?l Tips" aj'so iovr a price, and it;is because II jio better; value can be.obtained anywhere^ihat."Amber Tips".is to-day the most popular brand in New Zealand, *1 Millioifl! cjf' packets of "Ambers Tips" j are solfii, per annum. It is stocked in I every the North Cape to the i Bluff.Sv.Qn.ly exceptional value could ' be res|»pnaible for so exceptional a sale. ; i tea is now costing the ! "Amb£r Proprietors, as well as | other fceainerchants, an average of 2£d. •' to>3cLipa. : r. lb.more than in Ang«st, 1914. '{"Therefore, if; a< fail*, price was charged .before the war, the tea merchant is j to-day faced with a.ri enormous loss ■ should he continue' to pack the same .> quah'tyafrhis. old: prices, ? : Of. coure -there is. the alternative <-f s' cheapening the quality by ;m aduiixfine ';of- inferior, Jess healthful -teas.
