It has been my business to examino and taste various samples from these cargoes. I havo also visited Ceylon and nearly all of tho tea growing countries of the ori ent to observe tho mode of putting up tho tea. It is astonishing tho way they manage it adulterate it over thero. Tho packers aro so skillful that they slip in a great deal of inferior tea and work it off under good braud.s. This makes tho merchants who afterward handle it complain. Packages cf toa of a certain brand will be found all that could ho desired, while other packages bearing the same brand and in tho same cargo will be highly adulterated. As this tea is very costly, there is need of experts to examino it. They must ho good onos, for everything depends for the timo be ing ou their judgment. A taster can only tasto a few hours at a time, when lie is weakened and has to tako a rest. Besides this, when he begins a job of tasting, lie must take special pains to get himself in shapo for it.
