We, SYDNEY SAKER of 3, Bank Buildings, Hastings, Quantity Surveyor and
Accountant, and WILLIAM CHARLES GLOVER of Caves Road, St. Leonards on
Sea, Drysalter, both in the County of Sussex, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to the manufacture of a compound for use in preparing
infusions of tea.

The powdered borax and bi-carbonate of soda are thoroughly dried on iron trays
in an oven and incorporated; the powdered burnt sugar is then added and the
whole well mixed together in a mixing machine.
To make use of our compound in an ordinary sized teapot, a sufficient quantity
of our compound as would cover a sixpenny piece is placed upon the tea leaves
immediately before pouring on the boiling water. For infusing tea in larger
quantities a quarter of an ounce of the compound is sufficient for twelve gallons.
By the use of our compound the water is softened no matter how long it has
boiled, the leaves of the tea are thoroughly opened and practically the whole
strength and aroma brought out.
The use of our compound also prevents the injurious effects upon the digestion
frequently produced by drinking tea prepared in the ordinary manner.
We propose to called our improved compound "Teaine."
