Apart from that, all main international soft drinks are available, as are various fruit juices and carbonated and noncarbonated water, which can be bought from corner shops, supermarkets and in restaurants. Drinking unpurified tap water is not advisable. Of the teas and mates(herbal teas) widely available are té de uña de gato (tea made from cat's claw, a plant known for its healing properties), manzanilla (chamomile), menta (mint) and mate de coca, tea made from coca leaves. The amount of cocaine in the tea is extremely low, so it won't get you high, but it will help with the acclimatisation to high altitudes as it increases the absorption of oxygen in blood. Consumption of this tea is very common in Peru, especially in the Andean regions where it is used for medical and religious purposes. Coffee is also widely available, and Peruvians mostly drink it instant. In some restaurants you'll be provided with hot water and Nescafé, while in others a liquid concentrate is served which you can dilute with hot milk or water. In the more cosmopolitan cities you will find cafés that serve espresso.

It is made from fermented maize through a process which has remained unchanged from pre-Hispanic times: the corn is chewed and spit into a vat which is then sealed for several weeks while the corn ferments. Different aromatic herbs are also added, depending on the region. It tastes very bitter and can be found usually only in small markets and private homes.
