Tej Tej (Amharic: , pronounced ] ; Tigrinya: ሜሰ , Oromo: "daadhi" ) is a mead or honey wine that is brewed and consumed in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It is flavored with the powdered leaves and twigs of "gesho" ("Rhamnus prinoides"), a hops-like bittering agent that is a species of buckthorn. Tej is usually homemade, but throughout Ethiopia it is available in "tej houses" ("tej betoch", singular "tej bet" (Tigrinya: ጠጅ ቤት )).
Malabathrum Malabathrum, malabathron, or malobathrum, is the name used in classical and medieval texts for certain cinnamon-like aromatic plant leaves and an ointment prepared from those leaves. "Cinnamomum tamala" (sometimes given as "Cinnamomum tejpata"), grown most commonly in the eastern Himalayas, is thought to be a notable source of these leaves, although other species of "Cinnamomum" and even plants in other genera may also have been used. In ancient Greece and Rome, the leaves were used to prepare a fragrant oil, called "oleum malabathri", and were therefore valuable.
