I just tried chewing the leaves just like those truck drivers lol, because they are always on the road and need to stay awake.

But I hate chewing it so I guess I didn't feel the effect. But it is good as a tea! Almost all coffee shops have the coca tea in Cusco, Peru and also often offered instead of coffee when you are visiting the local people's houses.

Though, I didn't feel high when drinking the tea, it just makes me feel relaxed. Just like the other tea lol.
