 Great Coffee/tea substitue! December 22, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
A couple years back I developed an intolerance to caffeine that sent me to the emergency room. I have been seaching for a substitute but nearly every similar product contains varying amounts of caffeine. Even decaf coffees and teas still contan a small amount of the drug. Two months back I ordered two 100 bag boxes of Windsor and it has been a great substitue for my morning coffee. I still miss that kick I got from my morning cup of coffee but that is one experience I do not wish to repeat.
Coca tea has a very delicate taste but the taste is enhanced with a small amount of sugar is added. Honey has such a distinctive flavor of its own that it would totally mask the flavor of the coca tea.
I spent over two years in Bolivia with the Peace Corps and the tea brings back fond memories of my days in that country.
Would I purchase the product again? Yes! In fact, I have already ordered two more boxes.
A great gourmet tea October 26, 2006
This tea is not the "Cure for all Mankind diseases" as many could be expecting, after three years commercializing this brand and other coca teas from Peru and Bolivia we have received all kinds of reviews, some people love it as an after meal tea, some do it to get away from coffee, some girls use it for menopause symptoms and others for PMS.
Several reviews we had can be used as evidence that coca products are good for backache, migraines and headaches. I have also heard that many customers have consumed it to relieve depression or to reduce anxiety medication. In the other hand, some people do not experience any extra energy and only use it as a healthy herbal tea. It is impossible to expect that a simple tea bag with only one gram of dried - crushed coca leaves can be good for everybody and for everything! I just think is worth trying and see how your body reacts to it.
Personally, I have been using this tea since I am a kid for stomachaches and indigestion ( easy to get them when you are a chocolate's addict) and in the last years as ice tea while I workout or mixed with my protein shake for extra energy , it keeps me hydrated and my stomach surely enjoys it. So far I can use my same old Blue Jeans from 8 years ago but it is not all coca tea and coca products are not the miracle factor, I try to keep a healthy diet and I really try to workout at least 4 times at week.
Lately, I have added the coca flour to my kids diet in Bolivia, they are 10 years old twins, finicky eaters and their last medical showed them underweight and because coca is full of vitamins, minerals and calcium, I decided to give them some powdered coca every day. They get it in smoothies with yogurt and fruits, pudding, cake, bread, pasta and sauces and God knows all the recipes I have been trying the last weeks .......So far, my girl has shown a big weight improvement and I am hopping my boy can show that kind of progress in a near future.
