The ~Broad Arrow~ says:--“In this work we have the results of eighteen years’ experience of a tea planter in India, and the author has so written it that the beginner will find it invaluable, for he has had his wants specially in view. It is, so far as we know, the best, as it is certainly the most practical, book about tea that has been published.” _Third Edition. Crown 8vo. Cloth, ~3~s. ~6~d._ THE ART OF TEA BLENDING. A Handbook for the Tea Trade; a Guide to Tea Merchants, Brokers, Dealers and Consumers, in the Secret of Successful Tea Mixing. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. The ~Field~ says:--“This is a practical and authentic little text book on the principles involved in Tea Blending.” The ~Grocer’s Chronicle~ says:--“The book ought to be in the hands of every grocer of the United Kingdom.” The ~Grocer’s Journal~ says:--“We cordially recommend ‘The Art of Tea Blending’ to our readers as giving useful instruction and guidance.” ~Allen’s Indian Mail~ says:--“The author gives full technical instructions for the professional tea-blender and tea-taster; and in doing so, he imparts much information that will be found both valuable and interesting to the tea-drinking public.” ~Broad Arrow~ says:--“A trader should be able by its aid to make a name as a teaman, and realise the result which the housewife only needs--a gentle hint as to the opportunity of exercising real judgment and correct taste in a matter of such important family interest as tea.” The ~Grocer~ says:--“This is the third edition of a book which we have previously noticed with favour, and which has met with considerable success. Although the art of successful tea-blending is not one which can well be gleaned from mere book-lore--practical experience being essential to its acquisition--there are many young beginners, and possibly also some older hands, who will derive a good deal of information from the work now under notice. It has evidently been prepared with much care, and in its way is a very useful handbook.” The ~Daily Chronicle~ says:--“This capital handbook, which will prove of great service to merchants, brokers, and all engaged in the tea trade, has reached a third edition. For consumers we may extract the information that water for making tea should be soft and pure; it should be boiled quickly, and used when at the boiling point; the tea will be at its best in rather less than ten minutes, losing part of its flavour if allowed to stand longer.”
