Few people ever stop to think, when measuring out a teaspoonful or when buying a pound of tea, of the enormous quantity required to supply the people of New Zealand. A visit to the wharf during the past month would have been an eye-opener. Nekon, Moate and Co., Limited, re ceive shipments of tea by almost every steamer from Ceylon and India through out the year, and have landed, during the last three weeks alone, the huge amount of 300,000 pounds which is enough tea to provide every man, woman and child in New Zealand with 34 cups each of strong tea. Nelson, Moate and Co., Limited, are the leading tea merchants in the Austra lasian colonies, a position which they have gained solely by giving the public a really good article.
