JAPANS GREAT ENTERPRISE In
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION cY I'M
PERiAL DIET.
TO Ixronn AMERICANS Row TO
MAKE TEA.

Several months ago. the JapeAsee
Tea Guild sent to this country . special
commission. composed Of Mr.. g. Mt
suhashi. president Of shisuoka Prsfso-
tural Assembly. and Mr.. J. ohara, ,0s0-
Der Of japanese parliament. to invssti-
gate the condition Of the japanese tsa
trade In the United States and Canada,
and to cooperate with Mr.. r. Furuya
and Mr.. T. Misutany. the American
Representatives Of the japanese Tea
Guild. in giving publicity to the merits
Of japanese teas and the method Of
preparing them for drinking which
would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. Mlxutany are
planning 10 open tea baxars In many Of
the principal cities in the Unitei
States AID Canada. where ladies can
enjoy up Of nne japanese tea mcds
BY expeiit. and at the same time :e-
ceive Instructions which will enable
them to make It equally we'll at home.
More than half the tea consumed In
the United States and Canada 10 Of
Japanese growth. yet. the majority Of
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare It 10 as to de-
velop the delicious qualities which II
contains. 1t is believed by these gen
tlemen that when Americans are in
possession Of the secret Of making good
tea. the consumption In this country
will fully equal that Of Europe In pro-
portion. The Japanese government
has appropriated . large fund to aid
the japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants In prosecuting this educational
work. and 1t Is hoped that American
ladies will be apt students. The main
bureau Of the japanese Tea Guild has
issued an oflicial recipe for making JAP
anese ten. the translation OF which 10
~ follows:
First-Use a smail,dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put In one teaspoonful Of
tea leaves for each cup Of tea desired.
Thiid-When using japanese teas.
pour on the required quantity of fresh
boiled water. and let stand with closed
lid from to minutes. Never boil
tho leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor. Japanese tea leaves should
Be kept In tight can or jar. free from
moisture.
Note.--To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural, delicate. and sweet flavor Of JAP
anese teas. neither sugar nor cream
should be used.
