Tea Testers Not Tasters

able to rank the new unknown tea with
absolute accuracy. But he MS done In
a few moments what 1t required years
TO learn. And not only was constant
application necessary, but also q
naturally keen sense Of smell and an
analytical mind. The work is exact
ing; it demands astonishing precision
and persistence. Those are some of the
reasons why only so tea experts are to
be found In Boston. Within a few
months there will be 81.
All the experts now In the city are
working for private firms. Soon Bos-
ton Is to have an official expert who
Will work for the government. That is
because Boston Is such an inveterate
tea drinker. In the last two years the
Importation of tea into this port has
doubled. Boston now receives at it's
wharves 1000, 900 pounds annually
not q huge amount when compared
with New York's As, 900, 900. but yet
quite a respectable shipment.
The corps of experts in Boston at
present are grading teas for their
particular business houses. The United
States expert will test all the teas
brought in here to determine whether
any is too poor for admittance. When
Boston obtains her own expert she will
be added TO the list Of American cities
which are regular ports OF entry for
Tea. Inere are as yet only nVe pOfLS
in the country where tea In large
quantities may be brought in. The
right is granted to New York-by far
the greatest importer in the United.
States-Chicago, Tacoma, San Fran
cisco and st. Paul. So Boston looms
up pretty well, especially considering
the treatment she gave this herb at the
memorable tea party. y
These ports were decided upon by
the United States board of tea experts
and 1t is the same board which now
grants an expert to Boston. All tea
things are In the hands of his COM
mission. They decide just how low
grade a tea can be and still enter the
country, and that is not very inferior,
either. They allow tea to be handled
by only a few large ports for the rea-
son that II Is easier TO control stx ex-
perts than 600. Before the pure foo
law-even away back in 1S97-the
United States board Of tea experts,
comprising seven members, was es-
tablished. Tea. is thus the only article
Of human consumption which has in
the United States a special law to pro-
tect the u
