WHAT IS TEJ
Tej is a traditional Ethiopian drink that accompanies many feasts and celebrations. It is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water and Gesho (Ethiopian Hops). It is considered special because of its significance to the people, culture and history of Ethiopia.
This delicious honey wine was historically enjoyed by Ethiopian royalty. It was served to kings and queens as well as the Emperors and Empresses of the nation.
Today, Tej is an essential part of important holidays and celebrations - especially weddings! Frequently, Tej is enjoyed as part of a toast to the bride and groom, ringing in the new year, or simply savored by itself! Friends and family also often give gifts of Tej to commemorate important moments.
