Trying coca tea for the first time. Wish me luck. Still need to let it infuse for 10 minutes.

How it tastes like?

@Jay-Kadam like coca leaves. 🤣 it is not strong. Kind of very smooth metallic flavor.

It does gets you a weird kind of high.

Very mellow relaxed alertness or something like that.

I felt very focused and sharp for an hour and a half.

Now I have this relaxing sensation, that I feel as if I am about to have the best sleep I had in a while.

I wish I could get some

Today I woke up early completely restored, a very good sleep, very vivid dreams. Going to try again tonight.

@galileopy try it at 4900 masl. Whoever thinks it doesn't work is a fool or hasn't tried it at such insane altitude. But at sea level a tea, a candy or chewing has no effect on me really.

We need to fight the misconception that it gets you high though, cause it does not. It makes you sharp and helps with oxygen absorbing (apparently) so it's good for altitude problems. It makes you take those 5 more steps at 5000 masl but you don't really feel high. Oh and makes your lips tingly if you overdo it hehe

I chewed on and drank away coca leaves a lot in the past couple of months, we can probably speak of quantities in kgs by now 😅 had a coca mojito and also coca candy too. Coca mojito was as weird as it gets. Instead of mint you get coca leaves. We had it obviously in the late evening and I was tired and wired at the same time, drinking at altitude is no joke 😅
