Cafe touba is a black pepper coffee that is infused with the African djar spice. Created in Senegal, the drink is a local favorite that blends together sweet and spicy ingredients. Cafe touba is not your average morning drink and will give you as much of a spicy kick as it will an energy boost.
Adding to coffee's antioxidant properties, this black pepper beverage is described as a stomach-settler and as an aphrodisiac by local coffee artisans. This caffeinated concoction was first created by Cheikh Amadou Bamba, an African mystic who blended the beverage as a means of staying awake.
