I am interested! Quick research shows it's related to Mate, does it shares it's effects? I am interested in buying it, but lots of (local) stores that sell it don't have it in their inventory any more. To me it raises concerns over food security for the local populations of Ecuador and Peru. Quinoa comes to mind.
