al-Qaeda Tea Time

In Guinea, anyway. According to the BBC,

The local non-alcoholic beverage has people pouring into the night-time drinking holes of the country's capital, Conakry, for what clientele call the tea's explosive and restorative properties.

Aziz Mouna Camara, a proprietor of one drinking establishment, says the fermented concoction gets its name from its volatile nature.

"When the beverage has boiled to a certain level, it sparkles and gives explosive-like rumbling sounds when you open the pot.

"This is why some call it B52, American bombardment, Bin Laden and others call it al-Qaeda," he says.

Some trends I just don't understand.
