| Parts. | Varieties. | Price. |
| 2 | Ning-chow Congou | @ .14 |
| 10 | Amoy Oolong | @ .12 |
| Average cost | .13 | |
In the Oolong, which forms the base of this blend, a little coarseness may be tolerated, but “herby” and “weedy” Teas must be avoided, as what pungency is required is supplied by the Congou, which must, however, be free from any suspicion of oldness or staleness, and if not sufficiently heavy, the addition of one part of Broken-leaf Assam will supply this defect.
No. 2.
Another low-priced blend is composed as follows:—
| Parts. | Varieties. | Price. |
| 2 | Oonfa Congou | @ .20 |
| 8 | Mohea Oolong | @ .16 |
| Average cost | .16½ | |
No. 3.
For a low-priced to a fair grade Tea-blend the following combination has been found satisfactory in a mining or manufacturing district, where a full, heavy, substantial Tea is required:—
| Parts. | Varieties. | Price. |
| 1 | Moning Congou | @ .20 |
| 2 | Amoy Oolong | @ .20 |
| 7 | Foochow Oolong | @ .20 |
| Average cost | .20 | |
This combination yields a dark-colored, heavy-bodied, “grippy” beverage, one that will stand a second drawing and still be strong and flavory.
