: THE bloom, or glaze, or facing Of
green and black tea is generally arti
: fetal. In tho case of green tea it Is or
| dinarily a mixture of Prussian blue
: tGmelic, and salphate of mime, or Chins
, clay and in that of black tea it is moi
, unfrequently a coating OF black lead
r The tea prepared for the English mar
, ket is VIGOROUSLY subject to these adul-
terations and it seems that this arises
l entirely from our own fancy, and not
1 from any desire on the part of the
Chinese to pursue such practice. The
2 adulteration is easily discovered by
J treating the tea with cold water, anC
: then straining through muslin, and al
lowing the fine powder to subside.
