At Maraki Tela and Tej, the foundation of our product excellence lies in our own farmland cultivated with care, tradition, and sustainability in mind. By growing our own grains and tending to our honeybees, we ensure every ingredient used in our brewing process is fresh, natural, and of the highest quality. This farm-to-bottle approach keeps us deeply connected to the roots of our craft and the richness of Ethiopian heritage.
Tela is a traditional Ethiopian beer brewed from a carefully selected blend of barley, wheat, and sorghum grown directly on our farmland. Brewed in small batches to preserve authenticity, Tela delivers a bold, earthy flavor that reflects the warmth and spirit of Ethiopian community life. Whether it's a family gathering or a festive celebration, Tela is a timeless staple that brings people together.

Tej, the beloved honey wine of Ethiopia, is crafted using pure, locally sourced honey from our hives, combined with aromatic spices to create a flavor that tells a story. Served in a beautifully shaped glass called a Berele, Tej is more than just a drink—it's a reflection of our hospitality and community spirit. With every bottle, we aim to share the joy and warmth synonymous with Ethiopian culture.
