Tella is Ethiopia's household beer, brewed in a smoked clay pot from barley malt, gesho leaves, pieces of baked flatbread and dark roasted maize flour. It ferments in three stages over about two to four weeks, is thinned with water and strained, and comes out grey-white to brown with a few per cent alcohol.

Tella is Ethiopia's household beer, brewed in a smoked clay pot from barley malt, gesho leaves, pieces of baked flatbread and dark roasted maize flour. It ferments in three stages over about two to four weeks, is thinned with water and strained, and comes out grey-white to brown with a few per cent alcohol. Made in 6 steps over 21 days – 33 days. The longest step, add roasted maize flour (asharo) and ferment again (difdif), takes 10–20 days (Fentie E.G. et al. 2020) and runs at 20–25 °C (Fentie E.G. et al. 2020). Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus do most of the fermenting.
Tella is bittered with gesho leaves rather than hops, and its colour comes from dark roasted maize flour (asharo). It ferments in three stages over about two to four weeks, where the sorghum opaque beers in our African opaque sorghum beer entry ferment for 10 to 24 hours.
Until the early decades of the twentieth century, women were the only brewers of beer in Ethiopia, and tella was brewed for particular ceremonies, not every day. It is a holy drink (tsebel) at Orthodox Christian ceremonies and was drunk at the gibir feasts of lords, kings and emperors. The gendered order of brewing changed in the early twentieth century, when industrial beer production began and men took over its production. Senishaw and Röschenthaler (2020) say women began to sell tella in local beer houses only in about the last three decades.
