cured samples of twenty lots of from ten
chests up to three hundred chests, each of
various brands such as spring blossom,
mikado chop, rose of Japan, golden eagle,
double crown, etc.
Five lots out of the twenty were rejected.
He has sixteen standard samples furnished
by the government. in lead-covered pack
ages, and two other standards have since
been added for Canton teas. The teas, if
dusty, are passed through sieve to ascer-
tain If they contain more dust than the
law allows. Then, pair of tiny scales,
enough tea is placed to balance silver
5-cent piece, and this being placed in a
fine white china cup furnished by the gov
eminent, boiling water is poured in to fill
the cup, and the leaves are carefully moved
around with a custom house silver spoon.
Some tea which looks to the unskied
observer to be all right is quickly seen to
be all wrong when the leaf ar fragments
of leaves are expanded by the hot water
From the color and taste of the infusion
the quality of the tea is determined.
An infusion of the teas rejected had but
little color, and very little taste, and what
taste it had was vile. One sample, when
infused, was seen to be nothing but a sort
OF dust, of sweepings of other fragments of
leaves of some kind devoid of +aste and
having only the flavor of Jasemine flowers,
or some other flower, with which it had
been scented.
The worst sample of all was coarse in
appearance, consisting of the dead lower
leaves of the tea tree, producing a sort of
pinkish infusion. and smelling and tasting
bad: This sort of tea is called nibs. and
is the kind Chinese wanted to introduce, as
they said, for their old, sick men," A few
doses of it would be likely to kill the old
est and sickest man in the country, and the
smell of it was enough 10 make healthy
man sick.
About one-third of the leaves We're de-
cayed and would not expand under the slc-
ton of the hot water. An infusion CT hay
would make better drink than the teas
rejected. Any person, after a little instruc-
ton, could form q very fair idea of the
quality of tea by carefully lnfusing sam
pie, examining the leaves and tasting and
smelling the infusion. After seeing the test
of the teas rejected one wonders what any
one could mean by shipping such trash TO
this country, and realizes the advantage of
having a competent tea inspector here.
