A month later I was having breakfast in a La Paz cafe and ordered some coca tea. Floating in the cup when it arrived were a half-dozen fresh leaves. This tasted much better. It also produced a stimulant buzz similar to caffeine but 'cleaner' - more cerebral and less physical. I would describe it as a mild feeling of lightness and euphoria that dissipated to baseline within half an hour.
I concluded there that there was really no contest: fresh whole leaves produced the superior tea.
