Snoad and Co. (Malcolm B. Snoad), Ceylon Tea Merchants, 24 Lambton Quay, Wellington. Bankers, Colonial Bauk of New Zealand, Private residence, Oriental Bay. Mr. Snoad is a native of Kent, and was brought up to mercantile life in London, arriving in the Colony per ship “Merope” in 1884. The present business was established in 1888, Mr. Snoad is a direct importer of tea from the gardens of Ceylon. All teas are pure and unblended, and are supplied in small packets, larger packages, boxes or cases as may be required. Mr. Snoad also imports patent infusor teapots, the Duchess of York being the inventor. The patent consists in a perforated cup which holds the tea, and can be removed easily, leaving the tea free from all deleterious qualities. The writer having sampled the tea can speak from experience as to flavour and quality.
