CALL them the new breed of coffee drinkers. The brew that they prefer is that which claims to do more than just keep them awake
Yes, there’s a growing male clientele abandoning the good old kopi and opting for new brands which supposedly enhance sexual performance.
Young or old, these people are getting hooked to the new brands.
Most seem to believe and some even endorse the claims that such coffee has the potency to increase sexual desire and performance.
Rising brands...the popular new brews come in various brands
The more popular brands are Tongkat Ali, Kopi Jantan, Ali Cafe, Superbest and Radex, although the list is much more extensive.
Most of these coffee brands, some of which are imported, purportedly contain herbs which have aphrodisiac elements.
The claims include improved physical vitality and energy. There are even catchy phrases and sometimes graphic displays on cardboard advertisements.
These coffee brands are easily available at mamak stalls or restaurants.
The pre-mixed coffee powder, packed in sachets, is usually displayed on cardboards next to cash counters of the outlets.
Customers can also opt for drinking such brews in the shops for between RM2.50 and RM3.50 depending on the brand.
The supposedly 'uplifting' coffee can be found at coffee shops in cities and also in remote areas of the country. It is just a matter of variety and price.
One such outlet, Kelana Food in Section 16, Shah Alam has flamboyantly decorated a section of its wall with the cardboards laden with the various brands of coffee.

Some effects on gullible consumers may be just psychological.
Do some research on Tongkat Ali and check whether the brand's content fulfils the required minimum grams to actually fulfil your 'needs'.
Happy coffee drinking!
