When tea was first introduced to this part of the country, it was only used once a year and that was at Christmas. After the Christmas the tea would be left up in a safe place. The safest place was in the rafters of the house, and it would be left there untouched until the following Christmas. There was a certain family who made the tea for the first time. The tea was made in the ordinary way, but when the time came to drink it the tea was thrown out and the leave were eaten.
