    “The following story is told of the days before tea came into general use.”

    Share Share Post
    The following story is told of the days before tea came into general use. A station was being held in a farmer's house and the good lady of the house purchased a pound of tea for Station Day. This she boiled in a pot and for breakfast she gave the priest a saucer of tea leaves covered over with sugar. The priest on sitting down to breakfast was amazed to find this dish set before him. He inquired of bean-an-tighe what she had done with the water in which she had boiled the leaves.
    "Gan rath air, a athair" said she "do chaitheas an súghlach breán amach an doras."
