Many think the different grades of
teas come from different trees" con-
| tinued Mr.. Cadez, "others that all the
| leaves gathered from the first plucking
make first quality the second pluck
ing giving second quality and so on.
These ideas are wrong; all the grades
come from the same bushes, are pluck
ed, withered, rolled, fermented and
roasted together, then the sitter is en-
ployed to sort them out. The sitter
consists of three large sieves fixed in
frame one above the other, and work.

The top sieve has a large mesh, over
which the lowest grade leaves slide, the
finer leaves falling onto the second
sieve, which has a smaller mesh; here
the next lowest leaves slide out, leaving
the other two grades to fall through
| onto the third sieve, which has very
fine mesh and separates the two best
grades"
