Wo would thank the publio generally it their not having been misled by those whe have advertised tbeir Mixtures as Blended Teas only since we have introduoed thit artiole into these markets, and also for theii discrimination in appreciating the Superioi Qualities of our Blends over thoße whe designate their mixtures in imitation of oui Specialties. And we might, at the same time, draw tbeir attention to the faot that Teas are being offered under names resemh ling those sold by us, but not bearing oui labels ; we would therefore ask those purchasing our Blended Teas to see that thoy get them. All our Teas are Blended by Mr Nelson, who is a Tea Taster of repute, and acknowledged a most efficient Blender and Selector of Tea. Our Teas aro rlbo mixed by machinery, which consequently renders them of uniform quality, and the delicate Aroma and Natural Flavour iB hereby rotained. We mav say that we use no Scented, Colouring or Flavouring Tea in any of our Blends, which is bo injurious to health, owing to artificial resources being made uiO_of for such purpose.
