Hi.
I was just wondering if you guys know of any realy stimulating herbal Tea's like Yerba or green Tea maybe..
Preferably ones that are healthy, tasty & wont react with my MAOI.

There aren't that many Stimulating herbal teas that actually work.
Coca tea, made from the coca plant is probably the best, its legal and does give a bit of lift.
Its nothing like snorting cocaine (this is an assumption, since I've never tried cocaine)
As to whether it would interact with an MAOI I'm not entially sure.
I would have thought it would probably be OK as long as you didn't drink to much
Having said that I haven't done any research and so can't say its safe with authority, so be careful!

Tom, it's legal? where you are? in the shops? here?
This might save me a round the world airfare.

I always found Morning Thunder from Celestial Seasonings to be a good kicker. It is made of Black Tea and Roasted Yerba Mate.

I hate the taste of tea.
Could I put the tea that is in tea bags in a capsule, or would that be too strong or something?

Catmint, is Yerba Mate any good?
It doesn't have coca leaf in it does it?
It couldn't, could it?
Because it's just down the road.

> DeclanAs far as I know coca leaf itself is legal everywhere, after all its were the flavouring for coca cola comes from.
Coca tea and coca leaves can be purchased from
http://www.compra-segura.com/As well as making tea with them, coca leaves can be chewed with an alkaline substance like bicarnote of soda to release the alkaliods.
Personally I didn't find coca incredibly stimulating.
I didn't really get much benefit from Matae at all.

I'm not sure about that one. I haven't seen it in capsule form. It is probably like black or green tea-it needs to be mixed with water.

-- Yerba Mate is actually available in capsule form. I bought some recently, although I haven't tried the capsules yet.
