CHINA TEA
E+-AND-t
Tea Trade!
Extract from Consular Report
of the u. S. Consul Bed
loe at Amo. China.
BEWARE or GREEN TEA.

'It is an abominatIon and a fraud. In
the first place it is the unripe leaf, and
bears the same relation to the real ar
ticle, that the green does to the ripe
peach. The green tea of commerce de-
rives its rare color from being cured or
rather killed, in dirty copper pans, from
being mixed with roots and shrubs,
from being stained with indigo, and
chrome yellow from being colored with
Verdigris, grass juice or chlorophyl.
Every green dye known to commerce
has been used to produce that much adj
mired, but death dealing color, except
pehaps Paris green. AS soon as the
use of that poisonous substance will
give a profit of a cent a pound, no
doubt it will be literally used by the mer-
ccnary Mongolian merchants, and the
much more mercenry cultured European
tea trade"

TWO Pointed Questions Answersd.

What Is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you cannot get better price for it?
 Ans.-As there k no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on q single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are ecer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one
