- 1832 Some years ago, a person, on opening a chest of tea, found in one corner a small quantity of wheat; how it got there no one can tell. Whether in London, on the chest being opened by the East Indian Company, or in China, is equally uncertain; but the seed was sown in New Brunswick; it grew and flourished better than any previously sown. The produce was preserved, sown again, and multiplied so rapidly, that it is, at the present time, the kind of seed-wheat generally sown, and known by the distinction of "tea wheat."
