The  following  table  shows  the  progress  of  the  Export  trade  in  Indian  and  Ceylon  Tea  from 
-jlreat  Britain  during  the  past  three  years.  Canada  and  the  United  States  are  now  important  con- 
sumers of  both  kinds,  while  Turkey  takes  a considerable  quantity  of  Indian  Tea.  One  of  the  most 
:b  noticeable  features  is  the  large  quantity  of  Ceylon  Tea  sent  to  Germany  in  1892  amounting  to  very 
nearly  one  million  pounds,  the  bulk  of  which  was  most  likely  destined  for  the  Russian  Market.  Fine 
flavoured  Ceylon  Teas  grown  at  high  altitudes,  have  for  some  time  past  been  used  in  Russia,  and  it  is  very 
encouraging  to  find  that  prospects  are  good  in  this  quarter,  although  it  may  be  necessary  to  make  con- 
cession to  the  Russian  authorities  in  the  way  of  paper  lining  to  the  tea  chests,  in  order  to  remove  any 
possible  barrier  against  the  rapid 
increase  to  the  use  of  Ceylon. Tea
