Mate de coca, sometimes called té de coca ("coca tea"), is a tisane made from the leaves of the Coca plant (Eritroxilécea). The consumption of coca tea is a common occurrence in many South American countries. Coca tea is also used for medicinal and religious purposes by many indigenous tribes in the Andes mountain range, also is great to alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness.
Traditionally, official governmental persons travelling to La Paz in Bolivia, located at almost 4,000 meters above mean sea level, are greeted with a mate de coca. News reports noted that Princess Anne and the late Pope John Paul II were served the beverage during their visits to the country.
It is to be noted that though known as mate, the mate de coca is not drank through a straw but as a tea, with the whole tea bag left inside the cup.

Good Coca tea
By A1EHLYZET9M5LA on 2007-10-20
I prefer the Air-Tight bag presentation, but the paper wraps are very useful when you need to keep some extra in your handbag.
Great taste, good kick and no artificial ingredients.
Revision

My wife enjoys the tea which is different in taste and aroma than traditional black and green teas. I first tried it when I became sick while working in Lima, Peru. It simply made me feel better. I was initially disappointed that part of my order was missing but the seller has assured me this will be corrected.
Export Quality?
By A1QIF5JZARLE1H on 2008-08-14
I was in Peru some years ago, and brought back 2 boxes of Coca tea. It was packaged like 100 count boxes of Lipton, (as is the Windsor/Macmate). It was much stronger than the teas I have bought on Amazon, and I wonder if the Export Quality print on the box designates a weaker strength than what is available in country.
