Tej


Tej is a honey wine that is brewed and consumed in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It is flavoured with the powdered leaves and twigs of gesho, a hops-like bittering agent that is a species of buckthorn. It is called myes in Tigrinya, and daadhi in Oromo.
In Ethiopia, Tej is often homemade or served at tej houses, and is often served in a flask-like pitcher or bottle, called a bereles.
A different beverage, berz, is Ethiopian honey water.
