This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the
Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by
licence from the Patentee.

The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has
been granted, are very numerous; but among the most prominent is
this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex-
tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved.
The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention
of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee
used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown.
The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences,
secures them against injury from the lapse of tune and change of
climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im-
mediate use, and so reduces the price to the consumer, that economy
itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use.
One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup i f boiling water, will be
sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of
the finest quality.
The following certificate from Dr. 'Ore is, with satisfaction, sub-
joined :
" I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and
wholesome beverage ; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process,
which, while it excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent
matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the
exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put
up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un-
changed for any length of time.
(Signed) "ANDREW TIRE, M.D., FRS.,
" Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, &c , &c."
The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of
the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea
Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent
judge is the result :
" W. J. Bland having, tested the samples of the concentrated Es-
sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them
clean, full and perfect.
" By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the aroma is finely
preserved, and without the crude or fibrous property which ordinary
methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit ; the distinctive
flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, &c., are completely preserved,
so that even critical judges of the article would not be able to tell any
number of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused
after the common method. This result may be regarded as the
acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda-
tion.
"The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro-
matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without
the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the
Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so
naturally developed as rot to be mistaken.
