If you’re looking for unique African drinks, Ethiopian sprice/spriss juice is fantastic. I miss it so much! Here’s more info: https://ethiopianwanderlust.com/2014/05/29/spriss-juice-addis-ababas-multicolored-delights/
PS: if you want an alcoholic African drink, there’s tej, which is also tasty! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tej
These are both awesome! I totally want to try Spriss Juice now. Though I think I’m going to stick with the burnt rice tea -- Spriss looks like something you go out for, and it’s too early in the day for boozin’ :D Thank you though, I am filing these away for future possible use!

i mean, almost nothing about Wakanda's cultural sourcing makes much *geographic* sense, especially considering their political history. pan-Africanism and national isolationism *ought* to be fairly mutually exclusive. symbolism over logic sounds correct when expanding things, too.
I assumed the pan-Africanism came from Wakanda occasionally inviting outsiders from other African nations/cultures in, if for no other reason than to keep the gene pool stable, given its relative size. And one assumes that their War Dogs occasionally bring back partners and children from the outside world. So I guess it was my assumption that if the non-green-tea genmaicha had made it to the mainland, it would probably have made it to Wakanda sooner or later.

If its making your mouth burn its probably an allergy, seriously

Ditto on the allergic reaction, check before eating soba please.
Ehh, it’s just supertasting. I get the same sensation from cinnamon, cheaper kinds of whole-wheat bread, and brown rice. It’s not an allergic burn (which I am semi-familiar with) but more like when you eat a pepper and get a burning feeling.

I hope they gave you a refund!
Fortunately the account wasn’t charged -- it was pay-on-receipt and I had them cancel the reservation since they literally couldn’t give me a damn car. So at least there’s that.
