Housekeepers are very desirous to avoid the disap-
pointment that is found to arise from the absurd custom
the Chinese have of colouring Tea. Notwithstanding
the practice is so generally condemned by tea-drinkers,
it appears by the evidence given before the House of
C. 0111 I win s' Conianattee that it is continued, owing to the
t-a-pro Meer* end the merchants finding it profitable, for
the Chinese by using the ',facing' powder on the wintery
growths as on the beet, make LIM OL/111111011 brown leaves
look equal, and in that state they are !lamed off ss the
the early spring growths at greatly increased profit,
much to the consumer's loss and annoyance. an the
colouring matter on the leaf always washes off and is
drank with the infusion at the table. This ir.convenience
is avoided by using Hornimam's Pare Tea : the Green
is of a nstural olire hue,—wt blatisk ; the Black is not
wade intensely dark, therefore the Pare teas are whole-
some and wi Vona in onality.—Obtaillable Irvin Agents
