Singing the praises of mate de coca

[dreamer042]

Kuka Mama or Mama Kuka (in quechua: Mother coca) was a goddess of health and joy. She was originally a promiscuous woman who was cut in half by her many lovers. Her body grew into the first coca plant, the leaves of which men were only allowed to chew (to bring health and happiness) after having given a woman an orgasm.

Erythroxylum coca

The poor misunderstood little coca plant, she really is beautiful.

Since ancient times the Inca have considered this plant sacred and incorporated it into their religious ceremonies and daily lives. Used as a tea; it is a safe, effective, all-natural stimulant that is a healthy and nutritious way to improve attention and increase energy. It tastes wonderful, combines very well with many other types of herbs, and doesn't give the jitteriness or crash that is so common with caffeine.

Coca tea is readily (and it seems legally) available on amazon.com

Yum!

Fascinating, thank you for sharing the origin tale for Mama Coca. Just the other day, I heard that the origin of Mama Iboga involved violence against women as well. Perhaps it's that so many of these plant teachers seem to have a feminine essence, and so shamans thought a woman gave her life to give them souls?
