Coca leaf is the plant from which cocaine is made, so yes, it contains more than a trace of cocaine.
You can purchase coca leaf tea bags online from specialty retailers or health food stores that carry herbal teas. It is important to note that coca leaf tea may be restricted or illegal in some countries due to its association with cocaine production.
Coca leaf tea typically contains a small amount of caffeine, but the primary stimulant in coca leaves is actually alkaloids like cocaine, which can have psychoactive effects. The caffeine content in coca leaf tea is generally lower than that found in coffee or traditional tea, often ranging from 0.5% to 2% of the total leaf weight. However, the exact amount can vary depending on the preparation and concentration of the tea.
I drank 2 cups of coca leaf tea and I was wandering if it would show up in a hair follicle test.
Possibly if you have some sort of liver condition. Or if you recently had a surgery and the doctors used a large amount of local anestetic. Or if you've been drinking Coca leaf tea. But it's highly unlikely, but except in the case of drink coca leaf tea, which you shouldn't really be drinking in the US anyway.
The short answer is yes it could. The metabolite of cocaine tested for in urine samples is called benzoylecgonine and it can be detected in the urine a few hours after drinking coca tea and for up to around two weeks beyond that.

You can't grow Cocaine, there is no such plant. On the other hand the Coca Plant see below: Outside of South America, most countries' laws make no distinction between the coca leaf and any other substance containing cocaine, so the possession of coca leaf (except for de-cocainized leaf) is prohibited. In the Netherlands, coca leaf is legally in the same category as cocaine, both are List I drugs of the Opium Law. The Opium Law specifically mentions the leafs of the plants of the species Erythroxylon. However, the possession of living plants of the species Erythroxylon are not actively prosecuted, even though they are legally forbidden. In the United States, the Stepan Company of Maywood, New Jersey has the only license to legally import coca leaf. The company manufactures pure cocaine for medical use and also produces a cocaine-free extract of the coca leaf, which is used as a flavoring ingredient in Coca-Cola. According to the Bolivian press, Coca-Cola legally-imported 204 tons of coca leaf in 1996. Since the 1980s, the countries in which coca is grown have come under political and economic pressure from the United States to restrict the cultivation of the crop, in order to reduce the supply of cocaine on the international market. Article 26 of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs requires nations that allow the cultivation of coca to designate an agency to regulate said cultivation and take physical possession of the crops as soon as possible after harvest, and to destroy all coca which grows wild or is illegally cultivated. The effort to enforce these provisions, referred to as coca eradication, has involved many strategies, ranging from aerial spraying of herbicides on coca crops to assistance and incentives to encourage farmers to grow alternate crops. This effort has been politically controversial, with proponents claiming that the production of cocaine is several times the amount needed to satisfy legal demand, and inferring that the vast majority of the coca crop is destined for the illegal market, which not only contributes to the major social problem of drug abuse, but also financially supports insurgent groups that collaborate with drug traffickers in some cocaine-producing territories. Critics of the effort claim that it creates hardship primarily for the coca growers, many of whom are poor and have no viable alternative way to make a living, causes environmental problems, that it is not effective in reducing the supply of cocaine, in part because cultivation can move to other areas, and that any social harm created by drug abuse is only made worse by the war on drugs. More recently, coca has been reintroduced as a flavouring agent in the herbal liqueur Agwa. Coca tea and coca flour are available in the U.S. and Europe through Amazon.com and Mysterious Bolivia distributed by Reyes Avila, LLC trade company headquarted in Charlotte, NC.

It depends on the form of the drug. Cocaine salts can be hydrochloride (HCL), sulfate (-SO4) and the nitrate (-NO3). Crack cocaine is a combination of the alkaloid with backing soda and water. If the raw leaves are chewed, they are often rolled around lime (Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2). Coca tea or coca leaf infusions are made by steeping coca leaves in hot water. Cocaine powder, coke, that is typically snorted may be cut (mixed) with baking soda, baby powder, talcum powder, baking powder, baby formula, powdered laxative, or any other white to whitish powdered substance.
Well if this was not a typo and you're not looking for "Cocoa tea" then you are looking for the maker of cocaine, the coca plant. Naturally this is illegal to posses in the U.S. so you are going to have to order it but even then you will be lucky if it gets through the mail. Actually you can order and buy coca tea through Amazon.com Just go to Amazon search for coca tea and you will find a whole variety of coca teas, all shipped from the USA. Do not buy from unknown sources or directly from Peru or Bolivia as it can be contaminated by the sprays used for coca extermination in South America for illegal coca plantations or get seized at customs; always look for the organic or premium organic coca teas ( Novoandina has an organic line with three varieties of coca teas) Latienda.com also offers premium organic coca tea
Because the coca leaf has traditional and cultural significance for the Aymara and Quechua of the Andes. To them, the coca leaf is a sacred leaf used for ritual and practical purposes (such as making tea to warm the indigenous peasants in the cold Andes, or suppressing hunger when they must go without food). It is also deeply tied to indigenous identity in the Andes, and criminalizing it means discrimination to them. They argue that coca and cocaine are not the same thing, and most of the coca produced in Bolivia is meant to be consumed as coca, and very little of it gets processed into cocaine. They argue that it is unfair to criminalize and eliminate a basic crop of such sacred value to them due to the bad habits of a few. Would you like it if something innocent you and your family have enjoyed all your lives to the point where it has become tradition (Christmas cookies) were to suddenly be criminalized because someone somehow found a way to make drugs out of it?
