Organic coca tea is the best, premium coca leaf product available to buy. Yungas region in Bolivia grows coca plants traditionally using organic methods.
Organic Coca Tea Production
The following techniques are used: Remove all weeds, grasses and vegetation. Plant small coca leaf shrubs in organized rows.
To have larger harvests available quickly and in the short term, many coca plant farmers started applying chemicals, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. This started happening over the last 20 years. This method of coca plant farming has caused depleted soil, soil erosion and pesticide resistant insects. As a consequence, coca is being grown in areas where it is not legal.
Growing organic coca tea can solve this increasing problem in Peru, Bolivia and Colombia.
The great news it that in 2007 ECOTOP has started trying something new and exciting. They selected a small group of farmers and launched coca production in agroforestry systems. More so, in a time period spanning from 2010 to 2012 a first ever organic coca tea production was started by ECOTOP. It’s funding came from the European Union.
Organic Growing Benefits
The organic coca leaf production had a number of benefits: reduction of soil depletion and stopping the use of fertilizers and pesticides. The other benefit was to encourage and to diversify the monoculture of coca plants in Bolivia and Peru.
It is exciting to know that over 230 coca leaf farmers have achieved the organic coca tea certification. This was independently verified and certified by the IMO Control LA in 2012.
Growing organic coca tea has become a vital part of caring for the environment. It also makes a positive health impact on people, animals and the world around us.

Delisse Coca Tea Not Organic
Delisse coca tea is the largest commercial supplier of coca tea products in Peru. The main problem with Delisse is that their coca leaves are NOT organic. Delisse and ENACO (a Peruvian state company) regular the production and sales of coca tea products in Peru. Sadly, ENACO does not adhere to the organic standard when it comes to coca leaves and organic coca tea production.
In fact, Delisse mate de coca has been rated a low 3 out of 5 stars by most coca tea lovers worldwide. This is because Delisse coca tea powder contains powdered stems and twigs. Done to maximize the weight of their final product.
What many coca tea consumers are not aware of is that the only alkaloid rich part of the coca plant are its leaves.
