Coca Tea

Mate coca , tea of the coca leaf, is a common drink of the area, which helps people get over altitude sickness and generally feel good. (narcotic, eh?) the stuff actually tastes really good, and it's recommended to chew on the leaves afterwards to help the weary traveler "get by" .... hehe...
we found that you could also get the coca leaves in combination with a tea bag of manzanilla (camomile) which tasted even better.
