Coca Tea US, Australian and Canadian Customs

The thing is, coca leaf tea has a negative stigma surrounding it outside of South America because American rock stars, rappers, super models and Wall St bankers prefer cocaine. What you also need to understand is that while it takes 100s of kilograms of coca to make a few handfuls of pure cocaine. United States, Australian, Canadian, UK and European Customs consider coca leaf tea as a prohibited import.

This is just in case if you ever wanted to bring some back from Peru or Bolivia or import it from South America by postal mail.

Sucks, doesn’t it? It really does, as coca leaf is not only harmless it’s actually good for your health and provides natural energy and mental focus.

Coca is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and protein that’s essential for human health.

Coca Use in Peru

Locals in Peru use coca tea for headaches, migraines, stomach problems, weight loss, nausea, motion and sea sickness. And most importantly to get a natural boost of energy that rivals coffee and energy drinks without any side effects.

Did I mention that chewing coca leaf tea even a few times a week helps to strengthen your teeth and gums. You may never need to visit the dentist for cavities and other dental work again. I have been chewing coca tea for well over 3 years now and have not had the need to see a dentist as my teeth are in perfect condition. To explain this phenomenon, we must understand that coca leaves are rich in calcium and other minerals.

If you are lucky enough to visit Peru or Bolivia, coca leaf tea is not the only form of coca plant they have. Local small shops and supermarkets sell coca toffee, coca candy, coca chewing gum, coca leaf wine, coca beer, coca chocolates and flavoured coca tea bags. You must try drinking and chewing coca leaf tea.

Importing Coca Tea

What most visitors and tourists in Peru and Bolivia don’t know is that you can bring back coca tea powder and coca candy with you. The United States, Canadian, UK, New Zealand and Australian customs usually turn a “blind eye” to these coca tea foods. However, if you attempt to bring back dried, whole coca leaves, they will be seized due to strict quarantine laws outside of South America.

One word of caution, if you chew some coca leaf tea with a dash of bi carb soda before bed, it may take you an extra 1-2 hours to fall asleep. They call coca tea the “Natural Red Bull” for a reason folks.

Coca Leaf Powder & Uses

By 2 Comments

Coca Leaf Powder

Coca leaf powder and uses of it are legendary. Coca plant grows naturally in South America (Peru and Bolivia) and has for thousands of years was an important medicinal plant in the Andes and it’s people. Within coca leaf plant, there are two main strains, and they are: Erythroxylum coca var. Coca, and Erythroxylum coca var. Novogranatense.

Coca leaf is established as a main source of cocaine drug, and the plant grows up to three meters in height. Traditional coca plants are cultivated and harvested mostly in the lower regions of the Andes, however Erythroxylum coca var. Novogranatense can also be grown in neighbouring countries such as Colombia and Ecuador.

The people of Peru and Bolivia have used the coca leaf powder for thousands of years as medicine and as an energy boosting stimulant. Peruvian Indians used the coca powder to cure the effects of altitude sickness, to stop hunger, lethargy, headaches and nausea. Coca leaf powder and whole leaves were so important that they were used as a trade commodity between the people living in the lower regions and higher altitudes, where coca leaf is consumed to fight the altitude sickness.

What’s interesting to note is that fragments of coca leaf powder were discovered dating all the way back at least 6,000 years, and even ancient mummies discovered in tombs, buried with small bags of whole coca leaves. There were also pottery decorated with figurines showing the typical look of a cheek bulge chewing coca leaves.

Unfortunately, in the year of 1961, the United Nations Convention on Narcotic Drugs made coca illegal outside of South America. The only two countries where coca plant grows naturally, Peru and Bolivia, demanded that coca leaf remain legal because it has been used for thousands of years as medicine. This is where the majority of exported coca powder is now sourced across the world.

What complicates the entire coca leaf is that the leaves hold alkaloids that can be used to produce the drug cocaine. Cocaine is a powerful psychoactive drug that was discovered and purified by a German chemist, Albert Friedrich Emil Niemann in 1859. Normally, coca leaves are chewed or brewed into coca tea, which is also called, “Mate de Coca”. The people of Peru, including the Incas, prefer the chewing method which is called “acullico”. To chew coca leaves or coca tea powder, the user must combine the leaves with an alkaline substance such as llipta or sodium bicarbonate. Bi carb soda or llipta helps to extract coca leaf alkaloids from the plant fiber. Chewing coca leaf powder is much more effective as the absorption of the alkaloids when drinking coca tea is much slower and much of it is wasted or discarded with the spent leaves.

When you chew coca leaf powder in its whole, natural way, coca does not become addictive, physically or mentally, the coca tea drinker or coca chewer does not become dependent. If the person decides to stop consuming the leaves for a lengthy period of time, there is no withdrawal or cravings for coca. It’s good to know that coca leaf itself is used to get people off cocaine and crack. Therefore, coca tea is useful for treatment of recovering drugs addicts.

There were medical studies conducted in Bolivia to understand better how the coca leaf affects physical performance when the user is chewing coca leaves. The research showed that coca leaves block the pathway of glucose oxidation at the pyruvate dehydrogenase level. This results in the body making a switch to get it’s core energy production from fatty acids. This is a far more efficient source of natural energy especially during longer periods of low-level intensity, allowing coca users the energy to perform at a sustained level over lengthy periods of time. What is also interesting to note is that cocaine itself might have little to do with the energy derived from whole coca leaf powder. The sheer amount of pure cocaine absorbed while chewing is very little, this may confirm that it’s not the cocaine which provides the energy with coca leaves. Research points the finger at coca’s flavonoids which are found within the leaves as the driving force in energy boosting.

This is great news for the coca tea chewers and drinkers around the world who were concerned about the potential negative effects of cocaine while chewing coca leaf powder.

coca leaf tea

When you talk to people about coca leaf tea, they always imagine it’s distant cousin and a controversial drug, cocaine. The fact is that coca leaf is a healing plant that grows naturally in Peru and Bolivia and has been drunk as tea and chewed for over 3000 years before it was turned into a purified drug that is cocaine. When coca leaf tea is consumed either by chewing coca or drinking as tea, it provides a number of many health benefits to the user.

Boosting energy levels naturally

When it comes to boosting natural energy levels, coca leaf tea is the number one natural supplement. In the olden days working long and hard days of labor was expected out of workers.

Coca Tea Peru

By 3 Comments

Coca tea Peru, these three words have been spoken many times over. That’s because coca tea mainly comes from Peru and Bolivia. And coca tea certainly goes really well in Peru.

And that is for a good reason. Peru is located at 3,400 meters in elevation, and nothing cures the effects of altitude sickness as quickly and effectively as the Erythroxylum coca var. coca, or better known as coca leaf.

This makes Peru to be one of the highest cities in the world.

Upon arriving in Peru, you can experience the unpleasant effects of the high altitude within minutes of getting out of your airplane at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport. These altitude sickness side-effects are: difficulty to breath, headaches, dizziness and feelings of nausea. People can also have hallucinations. On very rare occasions people can die from this condition.

One would question why did the Incas ever decide to build the capital of their empire right here in the 13th century. Obviously they knew all about the healing powers of coca leaf tea.

This is also the case for the coca vendors who greet your flight upon arrival. What’s interesting to know is that they are the descendants of the Quechua people who have lived in and around Peru for several centuries or more. These coca tea Peru sellers come selling plastic bags of coca leaves, coca tea and coca sweets.

The arriving visitors are curios and yet apprehensive to try coca tea products. This is because a foolish and biased law discourages people to consume coca products across the world except in Peru, Bolivia and other parts of South America. That’s because coca leaves contain a psychoactive alkaloid called cocaine, the primary ingredient for the drug that rich politicians, celebrities, sports stars, lawyers, judges and doctors have come to love.

What you should know is that the percentage of cocaine alkaloids in coca tea is small, and the effects between coca tea and cocaine are not identical. Coca tea leaf is a mild to medium (dose dependent) stimulant that stops hunger, pain, fatigue and thirst, without the overwhelming speedy effects and the rush of cocaine. Chewing coca tea with sodium bicarbonate can still make the user euphoric, energetic and feel “on top of the world”. You just need to chew more coca tea consecutively over a space of 1 hour to steadily build up the effects. Coca tea also lacks the anxiety and paranoia feelings that cocaine users often exhibit.

And coca leaf extract is still used in Coca Cola today, but the modern version has been de-cocainized and unlike the original recipe has no cocaine.

Coca tea Peru and in Bolivia is loved by the locals, they chew the dried coca leaves and coca tea powder during the day. These people in Peru have chewed coca tea for over 5,000 years. And if you look closely at the paintings in Cusco’s cathedral, you’ll see portraits of the saints with a huge bulge in their mouth, they are chewing coca tea.

The consumption of coca leaf tea also has many cultural and religious links. The Inca used it as part of their spiritual belief. You will notice that even today in the modern times, people in Peru and Bolivia thank God while facing the mountains, thanking the divine for coca tea leaf.

 

Tourists and visitors to Peru, often also begin to thank the spirit of coca when they are feeling exhausted and find the only relief coming is that when they chew and drink coca tea in the high Andean thin air. If you are going to explore Cusco’s historic streets, busy markets, ancient cathedrals and vast shopping arcades, you better buy some coca tea powder or leaves with you for steady energy and to combat the altitude sickness. Coca is also great for curing nausea and headaches.

You will find that almost all hotels have coca tea available for free to tourists. Coca tea in Peru has a delicately pleasant flavour, many say it’s similar to green tea. As you chew or drink the coca leaf tea, your headache disappears, the throbbing pain stops and you can breathe easily again. It’s a much welcomed relief.

Did I mention that coca tea is also excellent for weight loss and fat burning? Fasting has never been easier while chewing coca tea powder with bi carb soda. You simply don’t want to eat and there are no food cravings.

Coca tea really is a gift from God.
