Afia Cafe Touba

Café Touba is a coffee beverage that is a popular traditional drink of Senegal and (more recently) Guinea Bissau, and is named for the city of Touba, Senegal. 

Café Touba is a coffee drink that is flavored with grains of selim or Guinea pepper (the dried fruit of the shrub Xylopia aethiopica (locally known as djar, in the wolof language) and sometimes cloves. The addition of djar, imported to Senegal from Ivory Coast or Gabon, is the important factor differentiating café Touba from plain coffee. 

 Coffee beans, including those used in Café Touba, are rich in antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. These antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and may have anti-inflammatory properties, when consumed in moderation.
