Ina Russian Tea Factory.

During my recent stay i'm China ! went
through some of the factories at Hankow,
and there saw how brick tea is made.
Hankow is the chief tea market of China.
1t is 600 miles in the interior, on the
wide Yangtse river, which is so deep that
the biggest ocean steamers can carry their
cargoes from there to every part Of the
world. The Nchief tea fields lie south OF
the Yangtse, Nnd most of them are some
distance from Hankow. The tea is brought
on the backs of men to the river and is
shipped up the numerous tributaries of the
YanGtse. At Hankow it is prepared in all
sorts of ways for the market There are
exporting firms there who manufacture
for the United States some who deal
chiefly with Ell gland, and also representa-
tives of the French and German importing
houses. The Russians have the largest
houses, and they monOpolize the brick tea
industry, annually shipping millions of
bricks to Vladivostok and Odessa, to Tibet
and Mongolia, and also over the TRANSIT
berian railroad to Russia. Many Of Inc
bricks carried part of the way on
camels, and not few so overland into.
Russian Turkestan
one of the factories | visited covered
more than an acre of ground. 1t employed
1000 Chinese, and it had on hand 1,5O0,OOO
pounds of tea pressed into bricks and ready
for export. The bricks filled the whole
upper floors of the factory. They were
laid up in piles, much as we stack bricks
for building, with narrow aisles running
here and there through the room. They
had been taken from the molds and left
in tho warehouse to cure. Each kind Ot

The processes of making tea in India
are different from those of Japan and
China. In the latter countries nearly
everything is done by hand and their meth
DDS are unsanitary to an extreme. In
China the leaves are sorted by women and
girls and the moisture is pressed out of
them by treading them with bare feet.
They are rolled over and over on bamboo
trays with the hand and are fired in red
hot pans by half-naked perspirng work.
men.
1t is the same in Japan. l once visited
a large firing establishment at one of the
ports where they were preparing green tea
for the American market. They were cur
ing it by what is known as pan-firing.
Imagine a long row of ovens filled with
copper pans each twenty inches wide and
thirty inches deep. The tops of the ovens
were at about the height of a mans waist
or just high enough to enable one to stir
the contents about with the hands. There
were at least thirty of these pans, and
over each bent a japanese woman her dress
pulled down to her waist and the upper part
Of her body as bare as the Venus de
Medici. Each was stirring and kneading
and rollipg~th drying tea The fires were
hot and the steam rose Pearl drops of
perSpiration stood out upon the backs and
busts of the workers, and it seemed to me
as though the tea might be brewed by the
sweat. 1t took those women almost an
hour TO finish each lot and after that the
teas were put up by hand
Here in India the tea is all rolled BY
machinery Every plantation has its fac
tories, where the leaves are withered and
rolled between steel plates so carefully
graduated that they do not injure the tea.
The drying is done by hot blasts and re-
Volying fans, and the result is that the
tea comes out perfectly pure and clean.
1t is carefully graded and packed while
warm in lead-lIned chests for shipment
abroad.
