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 c 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 house- 

 wife 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 consider- 

 able 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 informa- 

 tion 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. " 



The Grocer's Gazette: "This is a work which has now 

 reached its third edition, and which fully bears out its claim as an 

 excellent handbook on the subject. Not only is it a useful book to all 

 professionally engaged in the trade, but it is also calculated to educate 

 those who have not had the benefit of a practical experience, by 

 teaching them how to obtain a knowledge of the different classes of 

 teas and the proper method of mixing them. To the mature grocer 

 the work will be of interest, while the uninitiated may by its aid learn 

 how to select proper teas, please his customer's palate, and sustain 

 his reputation by keeping up the character of his mixings. ' '
