Suitable for Afternoon Teas, Be Sure that your Tea is Good. : : YOU are particular as to the other necessaries of life. Then why drink inferior, and therefore, injurious and maybe poisonous Tea? Bulk Teas are as often as not a delusion and a snare, as though they may be good, being " open" they permit adulteration. Also, tea loses its fragrance when it is exposed, as bulk Teas must be, and the fragrance of a Tea should be one of its chief recommenda tions. ! m /^v9i .pure tei J.fe ifei Mjsp&to CEYLON. teiiiife Has commanded the respect of all good judges of Tea for years as the best Ceylon Tea that is produced. It has been praised by Australian Governors and Prelates jit is used in the best houses of the Commonwealth j it is par excellence the family Tea of the Australian community. Every Packet is Packed in Lead, And this ensures the retention of that subtle fragrance for which Nirvana is noted. The | Nirvana Company guarantees every packet of its Tea as pure Ceylon from first leaf to j last, and if you see that its name and trade mark (a Cingalese girl-bust rising from a lotus lily) is on every packet of tea you buy you can always be sure that your Tea is good.
