THE simple art Of teamaking, so
we are told, was once a very
complicated operation in Thibet. To
begin with, the tea came in bricks
fetched by caravan from China.
Mixed with the tea leaves were a
few twigs and sticks proving that it
was genuine stuff" A piece of the
brick was broken off, ground to a
fine powder in a mortar and boiled
with water for five minutes, a little
salt being added. The fluid was then
poured through bamboo and
strained into wooden churn. A piece
of butter and some parched barley
meal we're contributed and the mix
ture was churned for a minute or so.
After this lengthy operation the tea
was ready to be served at the party
and each partaker drew from his
bosom a wooden bowl which served
as cup.

The Soluble Young Leaves

The younger the leaf the more
watersoluble matter you will get
out of it. So this is another test
of quality. Any tea much below 80
per cent soluble is to be looked at
askance. The samples tested ran
from 33 per cent to AZ per cent in
this regard, the Salada having the
highest land as the labeled "Orange
Pekoe' Of the collection, made from
smaller leaves, it should have), the
other three teas varying from 33
per cent to So per cent, which is very
satisfactory for leaves of this size.
All of the four teas analyzed and
tested were considerably above
standard requirements as a whole

should be served with we would men
tion moderation. Real foods can
do harm if eaten immoderately, and
when it comes to stimulating bev-
erages it is obvious that using them
to excess is bad. But it will be a
sad world soon if we are to throw
away everything in it that can be
abused. 1t is the idealist who goes
without necessities to buy white hya-
cinths for his soul,
A humorist of our acquaintance
was wont to whimsically argue
against prohibition with the plea
that even a clothesline, which is a

Or it may be made wrongly, con-

taken six or seven cups at a

daily consumption among real "tea

The very fact that tea as made
and served does contain less theme
than coffee does of caffeine leads
some in sense of false security to
double the dose" This is the same
malpractice that has given the cigar

How Much Tannin and Theme
in Tea?

Standard analyses on known
samples show that there is about
Is per cent to 19 per cent of tannin
and 2 per cent to 3.3 per cent of
theme in black teas. The samples
examined ran true to form, show
ing about 8 per cent of theme
white Rose highest, with 3.19, and
the other three ranging only from
2.5 to 2.S). AS to tannin, there was
more diversity-the White Rose and
Lipton's (the two strongest teas by
taste) having 11.5 and Tetley's (the
weakest or most delicate) only S.8
per cent, while the Sasada had the
highest, or Is per cent.
How much tannin you get in the
beverage depends, however, largely
on the teamaker, as it dissolves
more slowly than the theme, and

Appliances for the Proper Making of Tea

THE first cup of tea may be served
in three minutes after the boil
ing water is applied, but how about
the second cup? Does that stand
on the tea leaves for ten minutes
or moro while you talk? If so,
though you may dilute it, you are
getting more tannin and less Of the
aromatic principles than you should
The tea ball is one solution for
the single cup or for serving two.

half white; tiny short biscuit, crisp
toast, with or without cinnamon or
jam, are the classic and ideal accom-
paniments of tea. A strawberry
jam sandwich of toast or thin bread

is enough for feast, and we lose
the charm and character of "tea,

becomes more elaborate occasion.
Whether one should use lemon or
cream in the beverage is another
moot point among tea drinkers. Per-
sonally we think the cream masks
the fragrance and quality of the tea.

of coffee, and so little is used that
the effect on digestion can be but

Afternoon Tea

Conventional afternoon tea is
best made with a tea ball directly
IN the cup or in a teapot with
maraschino cherry, a Glove and
slice of lemon or orange or a lime
drop in the bottom of the cup be-
fore making the tea. Another pleas
ing innovation that will excite
comment is to serve loaf sugar with
the tea which has been previously
soaked for q few seconds in fruit
Juices-for example, pineapaple,
lemon or orange. These keep in a
covered jar for several weeks and so
are quite easy to have on hand.

Which Is the More Stimulating
Tea Or Coffee?

The question Of whether tea or
coffee is more harmful and which
contains the more caffeine or theme
(the same principle) is often raised.
Coffee has about / per cent of caf-
feline and tea 2.5 per cent to 3,3 per
cent of theme. But, as a matter of
fact, you use two level tablespoons
full of coffee to the cup and only
half teaspoonful to a teaspoonful
New-York tribune., 1920-06-20

of tea. So that though tea has
about three times as much theme
as coffee has caffeine, you use only
one-ffth as much to cup by weight.
Thus the tea would have only about
three-ffths as much theme in the
beverage used. AS matter of fact,
we know that the effects of tea are
less pronounced, unless it is i'm
moderately used and made into a
very strong. bitter brew.

How Not to Make Tea

Among the negroes and the South
ern mill-village women and the for
eign born in the city settlements, the
teapot too often stands perennially
on the back of the stove. One can
not but pity the poor, ill-nourished
women and babies who partake Of
the slow poison many times daily
from the pot which stands for days
on the stove with the cooking tea"
within and is only replenished once
in while with a dipperful of water
and handful of tea. 1t is a real
service to spread the gospel Of
harmless teamaking," for no bev-
erage is more abused.
On a hot summer afternoon there
Is nothing more refreshing and more
dainty to serve than tea and clink-
ing ice in tall thin glasses. 1t may
be made simply with sliced lemon
or orange or crystallized ginger and
few cloves, or in combination with
fruit juices or ginger ale. The tea
should be made about twice as strong
for this use, as the ice and Juices
dilute it. Double the tea used
rather than to increase the time of
sleeping.
