I drank a pot of matte. Naturally I didn't sleep that night. Not *particularly* euphoric.
Coca leaves, perhaps like opium itself, are choc full of antioxidants. And it makes, I heard once, a 'happy cup of tea' and isn't that what we need? The Bolivian Minister for Health has said that coca leaves are so good and safe they should be delivered free to school children. This seemed reasonable to me. Better, I have to say, than the kind of things I hear from health ministers in the Anglosphere.
They say to use water at 80C for green tea, which I might approximate, but not half an hour.
