Coca tea is an ancient Andean remedy for altitude sickness and fatigue, with a mild, earthy flavor that's nothing like its infamous derivative. Locals throughout Peru, Bolivia, and northern Argentina drink it regularly for energy and to combat mountain altitude. Try it at traditional markets or cafes in high-altitude cities like Cusco or La Paz where it's considered essential medicine.
