TEA 



To find an exact follow for the Indian at Is. 5d. may 

 present difficulties, but it may be found that by using 

 one costing Is. 4d., to fill No. 2 and another costing 

 Is. 6d. to complete No. 8, a satisfactory result can be 

 obtained at the same cost. The main idea is to guard 

 against nil the component teas running out at the same 

 time. Rather interlace the alterations at intervals. 

 The examples i^iven above illustrate the method when a 

 blend is composed of only a few teas, but, of course, 

 the same scheme is carried out when every lot is different. 

 Should a difficulty arise in matching one of the parcels, 

 do the same as in the above example where the Indian 

 No. 2 and 6 was cleared up. By this means, the number 

 of teas would be increased to nine, but the original 

 basis of eight would still be adhered to, e.g., Here we 

 have a blend composed of eight teas one of which is 

 sold.
