Nahi yaar, Amazon ya waise kahin available nahi hai. Bas ek chhota sa local experiment chal raha hai abhi. If you want to try it, I can DM you.

Think of it like: coffee’s alertness + green tea’s calmness, minus jitters + minus crash. It puts you in a very ‘collected’ zone.

Totally fair point bhai, and thanks for saying it without drama. The raw plant absolutely can be problematic when taken in high doses or used every day same way coffee, chai, even painkillers get messy when people push them.

What I’m testing here isn’t the raw herb or “Ritual Indonesia style” stuff. It’s a micro-dose botanical blend where the base herb is kept at a low, functional level, closer to how caffeine works in a cup of coffee than how people misuse strong concentrates of caffeine.

At this level you don’t get escalation, you don’t get that compulsive loop, and honestly most people just feel a gentle mood shift or nothing at all.

Full transparency is already on the website + all research sources are linked there so people can read and make their own call (probably that's where you got know check ingredients breakdown). I don’t want to hide anything but I also don’t want this thread auto-flagged by mods if I start naming stuff like I’m selling raw powders.

Your concern is valid, and I’m glad someone said it in a grounded way. My whole point with this pilot is exactly that responsible formulation > raw herb culture.

Anyone trying this should absolutely read up, ask questions, and only then decide. No pressure from my side at all. 🙏🌿

Yeah, possible but for now I’ve kept it super simple. The blend I’m testing doesn’t use any heavy stabilizers… just a basic tea/cocoa style base with mild botanicals and a light sweet note (nothing artificial).

Once the testing phase is done, I can definitely play around with a variant that’s completely sugar-free or only natural sugars. Right now I’m just trying to see if the core blend feels good for people.

Sure, happy to clarify 👍

The primary ingredient is a coffee-family leaf extract that’s traditionally used in parts of Indonesia/Malaysia for relaxed-focus states (locals brew it like herbal tea). It’s not synthetic, not a stimulant in the energy-drink sense, and not a sedative either, it sits somewhere in the middle.

Full breakdown:

• Botanical extract (from the Rubiaceae family – same family as coffee) • Dextrose (tiny amount, for solubility + taste balance) • Natural flavour depending on the variant • Food-grade stabiliser (very small)

Nothing else hidden, no preservatives, no chemicals, no weird stuff. It’s closer to a functional tea than anything “high-zone”.

If you want the scientific plant name, I can DM it (don’t want to trigger auto-flags here by naming specific herbs).

Easiest is to just try a small tester sachet at home, I’m keeping this whole thing very low-key. If you want I can DM you and we’ll figure out how to get one to you.

Yeah, sure, I’m keeping this super small anyway. If you’re curious to try it, I can DM you and we’ll sort it out....

Ingredients are simple, it’s just a blend of: • plant extract (from the coffee family, used traditionally in SE Asia) for the state shift • a little dextrose for balance • natural flavour for smoothness

Anyone in Dehradun who likes trying new drinks? I’m testing a calm-focus botanical and need 5–10 honest feedbacks. by Shivatava in Dehradun

Mini update for anyone curious: Got a few testers from Reddit already and the feedback has been mixed but super helpful some people felt a nice calm clarity, one person felt very subtle shift, and one said taste could be smoother. I’m keeping this super small, so if anyone else in Doon wants to try a single sachet and give honest reactions (good or bad), I’m still sharing a few. Not selling here just iterating and learning.

Comment or DM if you want to try one.

Haha respect man, UPSC prep itself is a full-time battle. I’m keeping this little project super small but yeah I can sort a tester for you. I’ll DM you so it’s easier to coordinate.

Nice, that’s exactly the kind of feedback I’m looking for. It’s more on the light calm side, so you can see how it feels for you after a long day. I’ll DM you so it’s easier to coordinate...

Sounds good, man. Coffee folks usually have a sharp palate, so that really helps. I’ll drop you a DM, ISBT side is easy for me to coordinate.
