How To Chew Coca
I’ve had many coca tea lovers ask me about chewing coca leaves, how to chew the powder, with bi carb soda or llipta, how to make coca tea taste nicer, how long to chew, where to put coca tea powder, and many other questions. This article about coca leaves chewing and it’s dedicated to those individuals.
First things, first. If you think that coca leaf has little to do with the body’s absorption of natural cocaine alkaloids then you are completely wrong. When you mix coca tea powder with sodium bicarbonate, and then place it in your mouth, the saliva thoroughly mixes with coca leaf powder creating a reaction. Over 14 naturally occurring alkaloids, including cocaine are quickly released and easily absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth and into the bloodstream.
Cocaine Link
Don’t kid yourself, this a fast and very efficient extraction process. You don’t need any highly sophisticated lab, or a chemist to enjoy the effects of coca leaves chewing. That numbing sensation that many people come to enjoy in their mouth (no pun intended). That is the natural effect of the cocaine alkaloid, it’s a local anesthetic, it numbs the mouth.
The central nervous system is also stimulated by coca leaf chewing. If you are chewing enough coca leaf powder with bi carb soda over a course of 20-30 minutes, you can get plenty of natural cocaine alkaloids absorbed. This can be a very powerful experience for some.
Traditional Chewing
Personally, I have enjoyed chewing coca leaves with many indigenous people from Peru. I have had good relations with them and could even call them my friends. These people were very respectful of this whole chewing process and they highly regarded their relationship with Mamma Coca. They would normally add 1 or 2 whole leaves at a time (1/4 of a teaspoon) to what they already were chewing in their mouths.
When I followed the same pattern and chewed coca leaves this way, I felt wonderful, energetic, yet calm and peaceful but, not exactly high. I didn’t want anything on top of my already blissful coca feeling, a mild buzz if I may call it. In other words, I was content with chewing a little bit of coca one bit at a time.
Chewing Coca For High
And this is where we get to the “coca high” part. If one was to quickly chew 2-4 huge mouthfuls of coca powder with bi carb soda, letting saliva slowly build up in their mouth while adding more and more after every 10-15 minutes and then constantly chewing more and more powder, this would produce a very different effect. If one keeps at it and greedily chews, as mentioned above, a liberal amount of cocaine will be released and absorbed, with all the expected euphoria and other speedy effects associated with snorting the purified version of coca leaf.
I must admit I have done this on a number of occasions for “science”. When I chew coca leaves in this manner, rather than being happy and satisfied with an energy boost and mental focus and experiencing a lack of wants, all I want to do is chew more powdered coca leaves. Just a little more, that one big teaspoon… It also tends to make one sexually aroused. You will also feel wired, and this is not a great thing if you want to relax and go to sleep. If you have a lot of work ahead then it may actually help you stay awake for a few hours or more.
Not Addictive
For me, chewing coca leaves in large amounts, as mentioned above, never posed a problem. That is if you disregard the lack of sleep from the night before that is (that’s as bad as it got for me). And for most people, even with large amount of aggressive coca chewing, there won’t be any issues. It’s not addictive and I don’t want it the next day.
However, I still feel that it’s important to let people know, even for the very experienced. If chewing is done in this highly aggressive manner and on a regular basis, it is indeed sometimes harder to control. Like with everything in life, moderation is key.
Respect The Leaf
Use this unique plant with respect and restraint and everything will be good. It is a medicinal plant after all. There are many great reasons why the Incas and other native people of Peru and Bolivia consider coca as a sacred plant. Use it greedily, and go over the top and you might not find the same kind of positive and gentle experience.
And lastly, if you want to actually enjoy the taste of coca leaves while chewing, simply add a few small fresh or dried mint/spearmint leaves. You may also add a stevia tablet to make it sweet.
To your health and success,
Alex
Hi Alex, thanks for writing this up, i got your newsletter about this today. I must admit I sometimes binge on coca, and it feels amazing… actually too amazing. My mouth certainly enjoys the numbing feeling and that wired/focused head space. I will take a break for several days to appreciate it more.
Good health to you sir.
First of all thanks for the tips. You are a decent bloke Alex, not a greedy salesman who actually cares about people.
I have saved this article. Beautifully stated in the the last few paragraphs.

How long can you chew powder per day??
I would recommend about 2-3 hours of coca chewing per day. Anymore and you will be really wired and speedy.
Cheers,
Alex
I want to be speedy & im in Arizona so….?😇
Hi Alex,
I too have noticed that if I binge chewing coca powder for over 2 hours, I get really speedy, it’s good and also a little full on haha
I had many binges on chewing coca tea, sex with my gf was amazing on it, we went for hours. No hang over the next day. Making coca wine is even more pleasant.
Sex is pretty good with coca (and a girl off course ;)). I tend to last much longer also.
Cheers,
Alex
Chewing a massive mouthful of coca tea powder numbs my whole face almost. It’s a crazy fun. I can’t sleep for a few hours after and want to have sex haha
I like chewing big wads of coca tea powder, it makes me really alert, horny and ready to take on the world!
The only downside is green mouth but who cares when feel like superman?
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s Trent chewing coca :^)

You are far better off chewing leaves with llipta or bi carb than drinking it as tea. The effects when chewed are 10 times stronger.
I tried chewing coca leaf in Peru, and had many happy times. I’d like to get some more in the USA.
Thanks for providing so much valuable information about coca tea. Love your blog.
Are chewing whole leaves better than chewing the powder?
Hi Jim,
Chewing coca leaves provides a more mild experience compared to chewing coca tea powder as the powder covers a larger portion of the mouth and more of the alkaloids get absorbed faster.
Chewing leaves is more of a steady energy boost, chewing coca tea powder can be more intense if you chew large amounts.
Kind regards,
Alex
Thanks for a detailed report Alex.
Chewing is the best method for coca leaf?
Thanks for posting this Alex.
I love love love chewing coca leaf powder when hiking outdoors! Feels so good and makes me lose weight.
Hey,
How about all the talk of coca being harmful to teeth. Any information to share about this would be helpful.
Definitely love coca! … and also having teeth
Hi there,
Coca tea chewing with bi carb soda is actually good for the tooth enamel as coca leaves are full of calcium and minerals and bi carb soda stops tooth decay because it’s alkaline (it inhibits the bacteria growth). This is why bi carb soda is so effective as a natural deodorant, it stops bad bacteria from growing.
I have personally used coca tea for well over 8 years and my teeth are stronger than ever.
Don’t drink Coca Cola and avoid candy, they are terrible for your teeth. Also avoid brushing teeth after eating acidic foods.
Cheers,
Alex
Hi Alex. Enjoyed reading your assessments and values of coca leaf. I am a gringo living in Ecuador and have been chewing coca leaf for about 5 months. I buy in bulk from a local health food location. I have been trying to lose weight for years without success. Recently when my son visited from the states one of the first thing he said (hadn’t seen him in 7 months) was he noticed I lost weight. I thought he was kidding so I bought a digital scale. I weighed in at 173 pounds. Before I always weighed 193 for years. I bought the scale 2+ weeks ago and my weight is still the same at 173. I was elated but also worried. So, my question is, do you think the 20 lb lost is due from chewing 2-3 times a day?
Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your feedback.
It seems that yes, chewing coca leaves on a regular basis has helped you lose some weight.
keep up the good work.
It is one of my fave ways to get motivated.
Cheers,
Alex
Thanks for your feedback. Does losing 20 lbs in 4-5 months chewing twice a day sound possible? I’m trying not to worry that it might be something else.
Thanks again.
Thanks Alex. I don’t see my previous response so I’ll try again. Is losing 20lbs in 4-5 months seem feasible if I have been chewing twice a day? Thanks for your response.
Hi Vincent,
Yes, that is a wonderful progress.
If you also limit any bad foods high in vegetable/seed oils and processed sugar, your results will sky rocket.
Any trans fats and deep fried foods are no go, unless they are fried in extra virgin olive oil or animal fats.
Regards,
Alex
Hello,
When chewing the leaves, do you swallow them or spit them out after a while?
Hi Zeb,
You can swallow the spent leaves/tea powder after 40-45 minutes.
If you swallow too much over a period of a few hours, you may get an upset stomach from ingesting bi carb soda.
But that is only temporary.
If you swallow, you will have more energy over the next hour or so.
Kind regards,
Alex
I drunk coca tea once in Germany, with a friend who had brought a bag of the leavesover from Bolivia (and didn’t get caught.. ) Made my mouth feel numb and I could barely sleep and was constantly getting up in the night to pee.. What would be the effect if you first lacto fermented the leaves, in the same way as making sauerkraut – would they become more palatable and the coca released more easily?
Hi Petra,
They make beer out of coca leaves in Peru and Bolivia and it works pretty well from what I heard.
I think the best way to take coca leaf powder is to put it under the tongue and after 5 minutes add 150-200 mg of food grade bi carb soda.

Alex
Thanks to Alex and the team at coca tea express. You guys do a wonderful service to your customers and coca tea lovers.
Hi Ferris,
Thank you, matey.
You are welcome.
Cheers,
Alex
Alex, thank you for the service you provided, and your customer service is OFF the CHARTS! I found your site about 18 months ago, and began ordering coca. I am a healthy 55 year old, and coca helps me to run circles around my younger crew members (we have a very physically demanding job). I decided to take a break from all my supplements and herds, just to reset my body and brain. I was concerned about taking a break from coca – really believed that after such a long period of using it, I was going to have withdrawals. It didn’t happen! It was a little bit of an adjustment, but it simply wasn’t a problem. Now, looking forward to my next shipment of your QUALITY product.
Hi Todd,
Thanks very much, matey. We really appreciate your feedback.
It is good to take breaks from coffee, strenuous work and exercise and even coca tea.
It resets your receptors and you are back to your usual self.
Too much of a good thing is often too much…
Cheers,
Alex
