Introduction

Honewines comes from the eclectic culture of Ethiopia with an exotic taste and flavor. The Bee is crucial to man's existence. They are critical pollinators. Bees pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Honey bees are responsible for $30 billion a year in crops.  To Ethiopians Honeywine is called tej (ጠጅ, [ˈtʼədʒ]).  It will have a savory taste derived from leaves and bark of gesho, a hop-like bittering element which is a species of buckthorn. The traditional vessel for drinking tej is a rounded vase-shaped container called a berele.

Mead known as iQhilika is traditionally prepared by the Xhosa of South Africa, and the wine

It is our duty to give back to the planet, to make it sustainable for life. We intend to establish a fund to help sustain the Bee population because a world without would have a cascading effect to not make life sustainable.

Unity & Solidarity

Our objective is to unite with Ethiopian Farmers and through solidarity of thought create the highest quality standard for the production of Ethiopian Honeywines known as tej. We'll work side by side with Ethiopian farmers to improve the lives of all Africans, with respect for sovereign equality. Through festive occasions tej customarily were provided as a gift during ceremonies. The Dabtrar would convene at church gatherings as the musicians assisted the priest to perform chants. The chants were performed in three musical genres - Ge'el, 'Ezl, and Araray. When meeting with dignitaries, the choir of the dabtara was divided into two parts that sing either simultaneously (zahebrat) or alternatively (meltan).

Three Instruments

During festive occasions such as the rainmaking ceremony tradition, and culture were passed from generation from song to son. The singers would accompany themselves with three instruments: Magwamiya - A Prayer Staff waved in the air, and stamped on the ground. Kabaro is a cynlinderical or conical instruments. This tradition post dates as far back to Moses, when he married an Ethiopian woman. Zipporah means Tzipora ((/ˈzɪp.ər.ə/ or /zɪpˈɔːr.ə/; Hebrew: צִפוֹרָה, Modern Tsippora, Tiberian Ṣippôrā 'bird'; Greek: Σεπφώρα Sepphōra; Arabic: صفورةṢaffūrah). She is mentioned in the Book of Exodus as the wife of Moses, and the daughter of Reuel/Jethro, the priest or prince of Midian.

At that matrimony the Sansael - a sistrum would have been the instrument of choice. A Sanasel consists of a wooden handle surmounted by a U-shaped silver frame pierced by wires running side-by-side, each with three small metal disks threaded to the instrument.  The classical verses of gene are composed and performed in Ge'ez for the praise of secular leaders.

Unity & Solidarity

Around 70% of what the world consumes is totally dependent on bee pollination. Honeybee pollination adds more than $15 billion in direct value to our agricultural crops each year in the United States.  Bee pollination has been globally valued at $217 billion dollars. For the bees service, we should do all within our power to thank the Honeybee in order to keep food secure cornerstone. We need a proactive approach to curb bee colony collapse. The following are steps that we'll take to work with local governments:

  • Reduce honey bee colony losses to economically levels that are sustainable.
  • Increase the monarch butterfly numbers to protect annual migration; and
  • Restore and enhance millions of acres for land pollination through combined public and private action.

Tej, the Way of Life

During a diplomatics mission, Makeda, the queen of the land of Saba , known today as the Queen of Sheba, visited King Solomon to toast in a festival occasion in the land of Makeda’s tej.

Menelik I, first emperor of Ethiopia, was born. The Queen of Sheba reigned in the 10th century BC over an empire that extended into Yemen and northern Ethiopia with Axum as its capital. The tradition and privilege of making and drinking tej was restricted for official diplomats of rank, position, and stature. The production and consumption of tej by non-aristocrats was only possible if the sovereign had allowed it. They also had special servants for this tasks called tej azai.
