NOTICE. THE ART, OR GIFT OF TEA TASTING Is only known to about one out of every 20,000; TEA BLENDING To one out of every 50,000 of the European population of the world; so what must the public think of the many m New Zealand that have . only found it out since the success of NELSON MOATE & COS BLENDS. The great name, and the constant and increasing demand for NELSON MOATE & COS TEAS Has certainly led to a lot of dealers m all sorts of wares packing teas, thinking the public will be satisfied with; them ; but, as it is well known that anyone can buy tea and pack it m packets with an elaborate label and big name, we do not wonder at the public refusing to buy these mixtures. NO BETTER PROOF OF THE POPULARITY OF NELSON If O ATE fl. f(O'S ffEAS ELS ON Mo ATE fiC l> OS 1E A S Is required than the fact that THEY IMPORTED OVER A FOURTH OF THE WHOLE OF THE TEA THAT CAME INTO NEW ZEALAND DURING THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS.
