The Gotmead.com URL is no longer valid and in any case did not seem to contain reliable information. Thus I am removing the paragraph in question from the article. However, I will include it below for future reference. --

"Some accounts of tej depict it as more of a honey beer than a true mead, with raw honey being added as a sweetener to a fermented, gesho flavored grain beverage, thus raising the question of large regional or ethnic differences in Ethiopia's Tej tradition."
Cambridge tej
I suspect that this entire paragraph is a hoax. I'm removing it from the article and placing it here on the talk page. If there's any truth to it, then it (along with
cited sources) should be moved to a separate article. --

"Slang: Another variation of Tej is often used in the city of Cambridge to denote a person of faulty character, lacking in the typical social niceties. Thieves, for one, can be said to act like Tej (which is an ideal rather than a specific noun). Another variation is for a person that behaves in a manner that is universally maligned and causes great irritation in the recipient of the action. This specifically stems from the sweet nature of the alcohol, using its honey beer nature as a deceptively sweet deterrent, distracting the victim of the situation."
You've clearly never been to Cambridge. —The preceding

No, I haven't, which is kind of my point. How am I supposed to know this is for real? If this is genuine, then you should be able to
cite sources about it, and it belongs in its own article. --

North Carolina tej
Same as the "Cambridge tej": I suspect this to be a hoax. I'm removing it from the article and placing it here on the talk page. If there's any truth to it, then it (along with
cited sources) should be moved to a separate article. --

"Legend:Tej is also a creature of myth in North Carolina, said to prowl the forests at night looking for food. His origins are not 100% known but date back to the late 1800's post Civil War especially around the Raleigh area. Tej is not a large creature, possibly 20 pounds and definetly feline but he has been rumored to have killed many small animals and humans. Possibly a ghost story, possibly an urban legend, the myth of Tej will live on though in the hearts of children in the area."
Photo
Nice blow-up of this image. But is it really tej? Sometimes the orange, cloudy-looking beverage is a different kind of liquor (sometimes made from fruits rather than just honey), and has a different name.

When I had tej in Ethiopia it was about the same color as orange juice. The color in this photo seems about right, to me (for what that's worth). Tej in the United States is often the color of beer or honey (and I'm invariably told that it's of lesser quality) --

South London Sporting
This sentence was random so I took it out. If the source can be cited go for it, seems like just a add on though.
"Tej is also a very well known South London Sporting legend, currently working at Axia Fx."
"Tej bets" looked like it was supposed to be Amharic but isn't Amharic for anything, y'all. Not every language pluralizes with an "s"? Fixed. —Preceding
