An eminent tea expert, writing in low-priced medium, and a fine quality teas in such way as to make a fine liquoring, and a medium cup. The great secret is to select for your fetching up grade a tea that can dominate P U9 IR III AY !JJ9dxa eqj^ •aSe.iQAe yjnp the "Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, 1 ' says — "Tea-blending is a scientific art and the sum of the art is to 'list' blends up not to repress them to a a blend. For this experience and a highly trained palate are essential. No hard and fast rules can be laid down, but there is a great price to be gained by the successful individual who by his skill can make, for two or three pence less money, a blend that shall equal the more expensive one of the inexpei-t blender. In New Zealand expert tea blenders are few and far between, and while there are many brands of blended teas on the market, and few are of real experts. For the most part the teas are mixed in a haphazard kind of way, the main object being the obtaining of a maxium profit. Uniformily of quality and flavour under such conditions was impossible, and purity problematical. There is no -firm in New Zealand who have for many years been selling the finest blends of tea in Australasia. Blended by an expert of great experience and unique skill who , also has the advantage of his firm's superior buying and importing capabilities, these teas are undoubtedly very fine examples of the blender's art and at various prices at which they are sold, they are undeniably the best value obtainable in the Dominion. We refer to -'Tiger" Teas." They have for so many years retained their supremacy and popularity in the face of increased competition is evidence of the public's critica labilities. The people of New Zealand are on the whole good judges of tea and as "Tiger" Tea is the pick of the great majority, nothing further needs to be added, except that they are obtained at all stores at Is 4d Is 6d Is Bd, Is lOd and 2s per lb That at Is 8d per lb is the most favoured at present. It is a very fine tea and those who cannot afford the higher priced "Tiger" Tea find it quite as good as other brands of tea at- 2s per lb. The tea needs no coupons to sell it. Its delicious flavour, exceptional quality and strength have made it the favourite. Is Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per lb. Ask your grocer fts
