Traditional Beverages

Ranon'apango
Ranon'apango is a type of tea made from burnt rice. Yes, burnt rice! It may sound unappetizing, but it's actually quite delicious. To make ranon'apango, we burn rice until it turns black, then rinse it with water and boil it. The resulting liquid is smooth, earthy, and slightly sweet. We often drink it with a snack in the morning or as a refreshment on a hot day. Ranon'apango is rich in antioxidants and has digestive benefits.
