Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Tej is Ethiopia's honey wine. Honey is stirred into water in a smoked clay pot and left to start fermenting, then boiled gesho stems and leaves go in to bitter it, and the must ferments for one to four weeks with daily stirring. It is drunk yellow, sweet, fizzy and cloudy from a round-bellied berele flask.
Amounts from a sourceThe best of three formulations in a 2024 study that standardised Tigray mies (Eritrean and Tigrayan tej). Household tej has no fixed ratio; a review gives honey to water of 1 to 3.

At a glance
Tej is Ethiopia's honey wine. Honey is stirred into water in a smoked clay pot and left to start fermenting, then boiled gesho stems and leaves go in to bitter it, and the must ferments for one to four weeks with daily stirring. It is drunk yellow, sweet, fizzy and cloudy from a round-bellied berele flask. Made in 6 steps over 10 days – 25 days. The longest step, second fermentation, stirred daily, takes 8–20 days (Fentie E.G. et al. 2020). Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus and Zymomonas do most of the fermenting.
Tej is bittered with gesho (Rhamnus prinoides) instead of hops or spices, and it is fermented wild in a pot smoked with olive wood. It is drunk young, still fizzy and cloudy with live yeast.
Berz (birzi)Honey water that is unfermented or only briefly fermented; the first stage of mies.
Spiced tejFlavoured with ginger, tamarind or other plants.
Tej with wheat malt (Amhara)Ground wheat malt goes in with the gesho extract.
Safety
In Amhara tej aged 10–30 days, at pH 3.29–3.73, coliforms, Enterobacteriaceae and moulds were below detection. Tej keeps only a short time and sours quickly.
Tej was once made only for festivals and royal families; today it is brewed and sold by households across Ethiopia, and most of the country's honey goes into it.
