t'ej
T'ej is a traditional Ethiopian honey wine, often enjoyed during celebrations and social gatherings. It is made by fermenting honey with water and adding a special type of grass called gesho leaves, which helps in the fermentation process. T'ej has a sweet and slightly tangy flavor, and it can vary in strength depending on the fermentation time.
Typically served in a round, flask-like container called a berele, t'ej is often accompanied by a ritual of sharing among friends and family. It is an important part of Ethiopian culture, symbolizing hospitality and community. T'ej is enjoyed by many, both in Ethiopia and among the Ethiopian diaspora.
