The ghost

of good tea

How often one is offered tea that is but a ghost-a pale, ineffectual phantom faintly reminiscent of what good tea should be!

We blame the climate the heat and damp that soon destroy the flavour and freshness of the finest tea. But there is one way of packing tea that is proof against any climate. The Brooke Bond vacuum tin preserves the Bavour and aroma of the tea inside for any length of time.

Insist on having. Brooke Bond tea (the only vacuum packed tea), and have it inade properly, and you will lay that ghost for ever.
