Coca
Coca is a
plant in the
family Erythroxylaceae, native to north-western
South America. The plant plays a significant role in traditional
Andean culture. It is used by Andean cultures such as the Chibcha family of Colombia and Quechua family of Peru as a messenger from the Gods, but is best known in most of the world for the stimulant drug
cocaine that is chemically extracted from its new fresh leaf tips in a similar fashion to
tea bush harvesting. Unprocessed coca leaves are also commonly used in the Andean countries to make a
herbal tea with mild
stimulant effects similar to strong
coffee.
