The little knowledge you
need about tea is easy to get.
1t will save you money and
bring you a Let Of pleasure.
Here 1t is:
Fine tea is made from
young tender leaves of the
tea-Plant, which are rich In
sap and favor.
Common tea comes from
the older leaves which are
full of tannin. Tannin, you
know, is what they tan
leather with; it is not only
harsh to the taste, but bad
for stomach and nerves.
So, if you want tea-havor,
not tannin, buy really good
tea and get the full rich tea
taste.
It costs more per pound
than common tea but less
per cup because a pound
makes so many cups.
The tea is Schilling's.
