- Tea.
Between seventy and eighty years ago tea came first to this district. First when it came out the people kept the tea leaves and threw away the water. They made the tea in the pots.
There was once a woman who was having the stations. She bought an ounce of tea and paid five shillings for it. The morning of the stations she boiled the tea in the pot. She strained water from the tea leaves. She threw away the water and gave the tea leaves in a saucer to the priest.
