Axum Tej
Tasting Notes
Named after the Kingdom of Axum, the center of Ethiopian’s civilization, Axum Tej has been produced from pure honey for millennia. Basic ingredients to make this Ethiopian premium Tej are essentially pure honey and hand-cultivated organic Ethiopian woody hops. Unlike other wines, Axum Tej is a naturally fermented Tej, honey wine that is absolutely made without any sulfites or any kind of additives.
Color
Axum Tej has a lively light gold to light amber color, which is an indication of the richness and outstanding quality of the product. The color of Axum Tej is also an indicative of high-grade pure honey, which generally offers a bolder, heartier, and consistent natural flavor without adding artificial coloring.
Nose
Axum Tej has the flavor of fruitiness, like the sweet nectar of the fragment flowers the bees collect. Axum Tej’s smoky and spicy tones are typically from the wood barrel and organic woody hops. Axum Tej has a subtle sweet aroma perfectly balanced with the bitter hops character that rounds off the well-developed nose and creates a memorable experience.
Taste
Honey contains and encloses the entire nature, the flowers, and the freshness of youth and the pleasure of living. Thus Axum Tej is permeated with the floral tones, and the off-dry sweet structure makes it smoothly mellow and aromatic.
