AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE,

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MD(11111)3
TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced 0o
as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest,
and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength; peculiar to
itself. Blended together in the proper proportions, they com-
prise all that is desirable in Tea. Ibis discovery was not the
effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one
individual, and the result of numerous experiments and the
most minute analysis. For another to produce the same result:
he must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal
power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and know
the exact proportions of each kind used—and though be may
never once have visited China, he must have had equal oppor-
tunities of securing to himself its productions : with one who,
like Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these
advantages, and to whom alone Howqua—years before his death
—imparted, at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture-
Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell Teat
they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture differing frog,
all the others. Now as there can be but ONE REAL "Howqual
Mixture," it follows that, as 500 different medleys are offered--:"
499 must be spurious. The 499 counterfeits are so many 01'
dences of the superiority of the ONE GENUINE. And it would
be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, with advantage:
the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spew'
in that country, would be so silly—even were it possible-0
to yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable
secret.

The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having tempted
many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly simile
titles to their own spurious mixtures, to guard against such ill;
position, persons should observe that "THE SIGNATURE THUS,
Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING,
Honourable Company's Service,
Is on every genuine Package. ~
To those who drink Green Tea, "Captain Pidding's Howqua
Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one estate, is recur;
mended for its strength and economy, and as being the pure"
and most wholesome Green Tea imported from China.
