Coca Tea reportedly had so much cocaine that users would fail drug tests. It could be bought from shops and pharmacies and was marketed as a herbal tea. The council had not responded to e-mailed questions by late yesterday afternoon. According to the Beeld report, Coca Tea was described as a "heavenly magical plant of the Incas". Two of the paper's reporters each drank a cup of the tea and had their urine tested. Within four hours, both showed benzodiazepine levels of over 1600 nanograms per millilitre in their urine. The cut-off level for drug tests was between 150 and 300ng/ml. The tea could not make users "high", but worked as a stimulant like caffeine. On its website, Cocazone, the maker of Coca Tea, said it was not addictive and had been used as a medicine in South America for thousands of years. However, Spar supermarket said it would ask its franchises to remove the tea from shelves.
