Coca tea Windsor 100 Bags

Coca tea Windsor is a great gourmet herbal tea.   It has a fresh peppermint green tea and mild grassy flavor which is very pleasant at any time of the day. Windsor is produced in Bolivia by Hansa Ltda, a German company with decades of experience.   Everybody that has tried the tea knows that the presentation and content is impecable.
Hansa gets their coca leaf from Yungas, Bolivia where you can find the world’s most dangerous roads. The Yungas is a region in the eastern Piedmont of the Andes Mountains primarily in Bolivia. Like the surrounding areas, it has characteristics of the Neotropic ecozone. It is rainy, humid, and warm. The only Afro-Bolivian community is concentrated here. Coffee, citrus, and coca are important crops of this region and the Yungas Cocalera Revolution Corporation is based in this region ( they provide the coca leaf to the coca tea companies Windsor, Lupi, MacMate and Frutte). Its name is derived from the word used to describe the mountain level of those who study the economic system of the prehispanic Andes. Yungas is the only region in Bolivia were coca is legally grown. 
Coca is produced for domestic and international markets and used in products including pharmaceutical cocaine, flavor extracts used in Coca Cola, Coca Tea and a handful of other products.  You can drink it alone, with some sugar, iced, or even prepare cookies and candy out of the tea bags.
Cuban scientists are studying the possible medical benefits of the coca leaf. Bolivians have chewed coca as a mild stimulant for centuries.  Coca helped the Spanish crown in the production of silver for centuries as it was used as a main source of vitamins, proteins and minerals for the miners in Potosi and Oruro.  There are several theories about the coca tea and its benefits.  Personally, I have heard most of them but I try to be careful about postulating theories that do not have valid, scientific evidence...yet!  Coca tea is commonly served in offices here instead of coffee. Cuban doctors also have even conducted extensive research using coca tea as an alternative medicine.
Air-Tight bag presentation is a better alternative for international shipping and regions with humid weather and/or unstable weather, it keeps the product fresher longer, sometimes the boxes get smashed at the Post Office and the paper-wraps can over- dry the tea bags.

Interesting Askville Questions:
When making a cup of tea, do you use your tea bag once or more than once?
when these tea bags are put in boiling water, their material would melt and probably go into my body when drunk, its synthetic, it must be harmful, but so many good companies use these bags instead of the normal tea bags.. whats healthier??
I think the term should read "iced tea" but I've seen lots of references to "ice tea." What's your final verdict?
