Chewing coca tea best way is it with iipta or sodium bicarbonate, chew coca leaves?
Many people are confused when it comes to finding the best and most pleasant alkaline substance to chew coca tea leaves and powder with.
For thousands of years people in Peru and Bolivia have used iipta with coca leaves.
Best Alkaline Substance
Llipta or iipta is essentially a mixture of lime and burnt ash of quinoa, that helps to extract the natural coca alkaloids while chewing. Llipta or iipta makes it more pleasant to chew coca leaves and it also actually activates the stimulating effects of the plant.
The lime is created by burning limestone which turns to un-slaked quicklime. Native South American Indians in Peru and Bolivia also burned quinoa and the tree bark from special trees. The combined mixture of lime and ash is referred to as ilipta or mambe. This was combined with coca leaves and coca tea powder which made chewing coca tea best way.
The taste is rather salty but it can also be sweetened with stevia which is another natural plant. If you decide to chew coca leaf without llipta or sodium bicarbonate then you will not feel much of the effects.
How to Use The Plant
In reality, you don’t need to chew coca tea powder. Just hold it in your mouth, under your tongue or between the cheeks and let saliva do the work. After 5 minutes your mouth will go numb, this is coca working. If there is too much saliva, you can swallow some of it, just keep the powder in your mouth for at least 35-40 minutes. If you swallow the powder too soon, the effects will fade quicker. you can swallow the spend powder or spit it out. I personally swallow as there are many vitamins, minerals and enzymes beneficial for health inside coca leaves.
You can then re-dose by adding another heap of coca leaves. Also you can add a heaped teaspoon of coca tea powder mixed with sodium bicarbonate or llipta in your mouth. Over time, you will get more comfortable with ratios and how long to suck and chew on coca tea. Chew coca leaves the right and best way!
You can easily buy sodium bicarbonate at most shops and supermarkets. I tend to go for food grade bi carb soda. It’s the purest and cleanest form. I tell people not to use baking powder as it has many impurities like aluminium added. Sodium bicarbonate and baking powder are different.
Llipta Facts
If you want to try chewing coca tea best way with llipta or iipta, then you can create it yourself following the advice I already gave you or go to Peru or Bolivia. However, many locals there already use bi carb soda anyway as its easier to find.
Llipta can also make your mouth go black and is more abrasive on your teeth and gums, whereas sodium bicarbonate is rather safe and good for your oral hygiene and health.
Sodium bicarbonate also makes your entire body more alkaline which wards off many infections and diseases.

Hi Alex, do you still ship coca tea in US?
PS I prefer bi carb soda for chewing. Its very cheap.
I got my parcel last week.
Thanks for this. I use bi carb soda and fresh mint leaves.
Hi Anthony,
Fresh mint goes really well with chewing coca leaves. Great choice!
Also peppermint oil is nice too.
Kind regards,

I think coca tea will run out soon because Peru and Bolivia closed their borders. Do you have more stock in United States?

Hello Alex, I see that most places have ran out of coca tea products, including tea bags, do you still have stock? I want to order 100 tea bags please in US.
Hi Mary,

Amazing tea, I really enjoying chewing coca tea with bicarb soda. 🙂Hi David,
Great to hear, I also use sodium bicarbonate when chewing coca tea powder.
Kind regards,
Alex
Can you do a coca tea extract? I want to use pure ethanol.
Not powder but like a goo extract so it’s easier to take?
You will need pure 90% grade alcohol… can be done then.
I suggest researching better.
Do you accept direct bank deposit to order coca tea?
Can you use slaked lime on its own? Or is it too harsh?
Keep up the great work Alex.
Hi Jay,
Thank you!
Kind regards,

A bit of bi carb soda and some fresh mint leaves, that is how I chew coca tea powder.
If I use too much bi carb it can be too salty.
Hi Sam,
I like this method of chewing coca tea also!

IS it ok to mix coca tea with chocolate??
Hi Zain,
You can eat or drink chocolate before taking coca, I would not mix the powders as it will not be as effective.

Alex,
Do you have a recipe for ilipta made with the bi-carb soda? I hear people talking about it but not really saying anything. I hear you can add a little bi-carb, coca powder and stevia….but not sure if this is correct. I have used the Columbian version of the ilipta..called ilija, it is sweet, coco flavor and chalky like. Is there a way to make this with bi-carb…?
Thanks,
Karl
Hi Karl,
We only use sodium bicarbonate, food grade. Never use baking soda as it is full of nasty chemicals.
You can try searching for the iipta recipe online.
You can always add a little bit of stevia (half a tablet) or some unprocessed powder to sweeten the sodium bicrbonate when chewing.
Kind regards,
Alex
