It ia a moot point whether we colonials, who drink so much tea upon all occasions are doing ourselves an iujary or not. It is certain, however, that tea is tho national beverage of ooloniats, whether it be in town or country, or in mansion or mudhut. Since it is admitted that we are a nation of tea-drinkers, it behoves us there fore to see that the tea we imbibe is of the purest and best quality. The Empire Tea Company (of which Messrs W. and G. Turnbull, Wellington, are the proprietors) confidently assert that their teas are the purest of the pure. They are not only excellent but eoonomioal and are
admirable upon all oociiiooa as the Empire Compauy point out in another eo’uuiu.
