A TABLOID TEA.
A Staple Much Used by the Russians
in Manchuria

III AdACAui la.
From the Scientific American
Compressed tea is common enough in ST.

commodity in this country. 1t is an ordi-
nary black tea. which Is very widely used
by the Buritas of the transbaikal region,

favored with salt and sour cream. Sugar
would be preferred of course. but it is
either unattainable or too high-priced, cost
ing. as 1t does. from IS cents to 81 pound
The compressed tea is of very good
quality Just now it is of interest because
it is used by the Russian officers in Man
churia. The tea is compressed by super o
modern machinery, evidence OF which Is
afforded by the splendid specimen of die
sinking on the tablet Itself. Such has been
the pressure employed that the formerly
soft and yielding leaves assume the appear
ance of hard tile, which can with diff

rule, mailet or hammer is used to break

which needs no cream because nature has
given 1t slightly creamy taste, and also
one that is feebly saccharine, so that 1t re-
quires less sugar than other teas In flavor
this compressed tea cannot be compared
with the natural herb. 1t is much fatter
in taste, but possesses the same stimulating
properties A piece the size of thimble
is sufficient for a large strong cup. No
teapot is necessary Scalding water is
poured on the nugget in cup, and in a
few minutes the tea Is ready.
No cementing agent whatever Is used in
COMPRISING high-grade teas-not even suf-
AIRED water nor artificial heat. The little
heat that is generated In compression
starts the fannie acid In the leaves, which
is all the adhesive required to hold the
block together. A tablet thus compressed
may be exposed to soaking rains with little
danger of injury. AS a general rule, how
ever. compressed tea Is kept In worsted
bags.
The official Russian compressed tea Is
not obtainable in Europe outside of Russia.
