A few points worth remembering

TO LOVERS OF GOOD TEA

1. Don’t mix one Blend of Tea with another,

let each Blend stand on its own merits.

2. Don’t store your Tea in paper,

empty at once into Tea Caddy or air-tight vessel.

Tea quickly absorbs the flavour of Soaps, etc.

that may be stored in the same cupboard.

3. Don’t put the dry leaf into a wet Teapot

and allow to stand waiting for water to boil.

Dry the Teapot.

4. See that the water is FRESHLY BOILED

and pour on Tea IMMEDIATELY it does boil-

allow the Tea minutes to infuse before pouring.

5. Use good white sugar-watch these points,

and use Clipper Tea Company’s TEA and it will pay you.

SELECTED BLEND OF CHINA TEA

GOOD TEA When taken neither too warm,

too weak, nor too sweet, is an excellent tonic bitter,

mostly does good and never harm.

If hungry, it is food-

if sick, it is medicine

it warms in Winter and cools in Summer.

If you are weary it refreshes;

if drowsy, it enlivens;

if you are poor, it is not expensive,

and if rich, it is very genteel.

THE MARQUESS QUEENSBERRY’S

SELECTED BLEND OF CHINA TEA

The royalist Scottish family of Douglas

was honoured by two generations of English monarchs.

In 1628 Sir William Douglas

was created Viscount Drumlanrig by Charles I

& then in 1633 made Earl of Queensberry by Charles I.

The third Earl was created Marquess by Charles II in 1682

so that the feudal baron Douglas

became Earl Drumlanrig the Marquess of Queensberry.

THE MARQUESS QUEENSBERRY’S

SELECTED BLEND OF CHINA TEA

It was in 1867 that Sir John Sholto Douglas,

the eighth Marquess,

supervised twelve basic rules to govern amateur boxing

since known as “The Queensberry Rules”.

In 1895 the eighth Marquess was tried and acquitted

for libel on Oscar Wilde of whose friendship with his so

Lord Alfred he disapproved.

The outcome of this case led to the trial and imprisonment of Wilde.
