About this tip
Café Touba is coffee roasted and ground with djar, the dried fruit of the Guinea pepper plant, and sometimes cloves, which gives it a peppery, warming edge. It is sold as street food, so look for the informal stalls and ask for it by name. It is brewed through a filter, closer to drip coffee than espresso. Locals link it to the Mouride brotherhood and the city of Touba, so a cup is also a small window into daily culture.
