You call that tea?!

So people often ask me what I eat over here in Burkina but often forget to ask about the drink of choice. This is a common sight all over here as tea is brewed and shared in three rounds between friends, family, and even alone. It's typically a black tea imported from China; and when brewed right, it can have a great flavor with enough sugar and caffeine to keep one going for hours. To fully experience Burkina, one has to stop and taste the tea.
