Default West African tea

Dear group,

Does anyone know anything about west African teas? I was speaking with
a Hausa friend from Ghana and he mentioned that his father receives
deliveries of a local "tea" from the neighborhood teamonger. This is
apparently a handpicked something that comes in long, thin leaves. He
mentioned that it is a strong competitor for Lipton among the locals
because of its freshness. Maybe it's like mate or something. Any ideas?
