Its flavour due to the volatile oils its stimulus to caffeine and its astringency to tannin! The English like to believe that they alone know how to brew and fiay. or tea the best. And consider all the excitement derived, when the cup was empty, of reading the tea leaves as , they lay •in . random 'array at the bottom of the cup. The ritual was, tandard and must have given hop and encourage. :rent to countless millions. The dark 'stranger! The promise of success! The long journey into the unknown! This .cult must still prevail in numerous homes. But not in Canada, Not in North , America; ,at least not to any great extent.

Ever since I° have spent immense effort try. ing to discover w1 y tea, with all its gentlemanly characteristics, should have {merited such degra,. dation. One theory, based on the fact that coffee requires the water not be heated above 18Q -decrees F., is that none of the restaur. ants possess the wherewithal for delivering water boiling at 212 degrees F. at sea level,. The'eff: ect of low temperature water on tea results in it failing to in. fuse. The leaves' do not become waterlogged. In consequence they float aed clog the moustache anti beard. Hence .the desc`e'nt to the strainer and • finally' into the slough of the tea bag. 11 you study, the matter further you will find that the tea bag is a most convenient way of hid. ing short leaves and dust. While dust is quite acceptable for teas such as the green Chinese 'gun. powder', as you ascend the scale of leaf size through Chinese yoting hyson, to hyson and on to Imper. ' ial, you emerge into the black teas: Darjeeling, Lapsang and Java varieties. In these the crit. erion becomes'' a long leaf and by 'long' is meant lengths of one and a quarter inches. There is a little tea garden in north east India at Peshok, where the bushes, planted with precision ; are pruned 'to three to fiv,n feet high, though this sister plant of the lovdly camellia grows to 30 feet, if unrestrained. Peshok is eight miles east north east of Darjeeling, right on the souther:; border of thestate of Sikkim and 44'miles as the eagle flies from 29,000 foot Kinchen. junga. Its elevation is around 3,000 feet on ,a rich light soil, a 'warm climate, moist air and a plentiful rainfall of from 80 to 190 inches per annum. Out in the garden arel'ntimerous tiny Gurkha women, their slit eyes almost parallel with their high cheek bones. Armed with baskets, they are plucking the top two .leaves from each shoot. • It you - are NEW -TO -TOWN or heave just moved into a new . home t' GODERICH'S OWN 0 Ua ualities, Faciricut These leave§. afire then laid rout. to wither, thus sealing in the flgv. our.
