뜻
Tea served at a high temperature.
문화적 배경
In the cold highlands, 'ትኩስ ሻይ' is often served with a lot of sugar to provide quick energy and warmth. Tea houses are social hubs where men often gather to discuss politics and sports over 'ትኩስ ሻይ'. During Orthodox fasting periods, 'ትኩስ ሻይ' is a staple because it is vegan (unless milk is added). It is considered slightly rude to refuse a second cup of 'ትኩስ ሻይ' if the host insists.
Sugar is default
If you don't want sugar, say 'ያለ ስኳር' (yale sikuar).
The Glass
Tea is usually served in a small glass (birchiqo), not a mug.
