The tea bush is indigenous to Assam in Northorn India, and botanists are of the opinion that it is the.parent species of all the cultivated varieties in India, Ceylon, China and elsewhere. In a wild state, it grows to la height of fifteen .to twenty feet, hutthe cultivated shrub is only three to four feet high. Assam being the natural home of the tea bush, it is not surprising :that this' and otherdistricts in Northern india produce the richest, most pungent teas grown in the world—teas that command higher prices than even the finest Ceylens ; but Ceylon teas are very flavory and fragrant, and seejn to be specially inade tO blend with the richer, more syrupy tea of India. When combined, the Ceylene give point and piquancy to the liquor ' the Indians, richness and strength.' . The -distinctive characteristic of Red Rose Tea, that rich, fruity flavor, is obtained by blending these fine Indians and Ceylons; and another very important feature of Red Rose Tea, viz., its uniformity of flavor ail the . year round, is secured the. same way, something not possible to obtain, where Ceylon or Indian teas are usal • alone.
