There are more secrets that you should know about Tongkat Ali coffee.
In this article, we will share more about Tongkat Ali coffee, how to find the best Tongkat Ali brands, and some other insights to why this Tongkat Ali coffee is insanely popular.
Lets find it out!
In its simplest form, Tongkat Ali coffee is derived by adding coffee together with Tongkat Ali root extract. It is a century-old tradition that is deep-rooted with a rich history, dating back to the 1800s.
Quintessentially Malaysian, Malaysian Tongkat Ali coffee is now extremely popular globally. It is consumed daily by all walks of life and is not limited to the health and fitness community.
The growing popularity is due to the fact that Tongkat Ali is now widely accepted amongst mainstream medical professionals, herbalists, scientists, nutritionists, sports amateurs, and general consumers.
In addition, growing clinical tests validate Tongkat Ali’s long list of scientifically proven health benefits.
Nestled amongst the busy streets of Malaysia and Indonesia, artisan Tongkat Ali coffee is making a comeback.
Hand-roasted coffee beans mixed with the most potent Tongkat Ali seemed to be the perfect choice for many coffee lovers.
The perfect blend of Tongkat Ali coffee with its distinctive taste will definitely reinvigorate your senses.
In Western countries, Tongkat Ali coffee is seen as a novelty, often appreciated by coffee aficionados and by a small group of discerning people in the West End of London.
However, the truth is, Tongkat Ali coffee unlocks more benefits than one could imagine.
The best Tongkat Ali coffee that tastes good and works well to keep me awake all day is KOFFEE by AKARALI.
The Tongkat Ali coffee experience has two distinct advantages.
The first one is the ability to amplify the benefits associated with mental alertness, focus, and cognitive performance. This is fueled by alkaloids from both caffeine and eurycomanone from Tongkat Ali.
The second advantage is, the addition of Tongkat Ali serves as a nootropic to reduce crashes or lessen the impact of caffeine withdrawal.
Tongkat Ali coffee is used and consumed in many ways. Just like any other coffee, Tongkat Ali coffee can be enjoyed daily at any time of the day.
Here are some common use of Tongkat Ali coffee.
If you are new to Tongkat Ali coffee, the aroma and taste will open up a new experience for most people.
Some call it an acquired taste, but for those who have a penchant to explore new frontiers, Tongkat Ali coffee can really blow your mind. More so once you experience the combined benefits from caffeine and Tongkat Ali.
Having said that, not all Tongkat Ali coffee products provide the same experience.
Now, let’s get on to the next topic.
Before you get excited to try any Tongkat Ali coffee. Let us warn you.
Most Tongkat Ali coffee products may disappoint you.
If you are expecting noticeable improvements or health benefits such as improved energy, testosterone, weight loss, muscle gain and libido from drinking Tongkat Ali coffee, than you may be better off taking potent Tongkat Ali supplements than coffee.
There are two reasons behind this.
Firstly, there are plenty of fake or illegal Tongkat Ali coffee in the market today.
Secondly, the amount of active Tongkat Ali extracts found in most Tongkat Ali coffees is extremely low to yield any benefits.
If you think you are getting any benefits, most likely it is fueled by the sugar rush. The 3-in-1 Tongkat Ali instant coffee contains more sugar than Tongkat Ali or coffee.
More about this later on.
From our research, there are more than 112 Tongkat Ali coffee on Amazon, and more than 300 Tongkat Ali coffee on Lazada.
With the increasing number of Tongkat Ali coffee brands sold each year, it makes it harder to identify fake Tongkat Ali or those containing illegal substances.
Authorities have seized plenty of fake Tongkat Ali coffees over the years. Brands such as the CNI Tongkat Ali Coffee, and Tongkat Ali Kopi Jantan sold in the United States were banned by USFDA due to desmethyl carbodenafil found in the Tongkat Ali coffee.
Whilst Tongkat Ali is not banned in the USA, the problem arises when Tongkat Ali coffee is mixed with other illegal substances such as Viagra or Cialis.
So, don’t be easily duped!
Most if not all Tongkat Ali coffee brands bring little to no health benefits.
Besides fake or illegal Tongkat Ali coffees, here is another problem.
Did you know most Tongkat Ali coffee contains high amounts of processed sugar?
The surge of energy that you experience is definitely due to the effects of processed sugar.
The next time you buy a Tongkat Ali coffee, please read the content or the nutrition label to avoid any dissapointment.
Best Tongkat Ali coffee such as KOFFEE is sugar-free, has zero cholesterol and zero fat too!
If you want to gain the most benefit from Tongkat Ali coffee, please ensure the product has the right amount of Tongkat Ali extract in the coffee.
If you are expecting a high amount of Tongkat Ali content in those Tongkat Ali coffee brands sold today, you will be utterly disappointed.
Now here is what we found.
A research study by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) on 10 popular Tongkat Ali coffee brands revealed that seven of them contained only 0.25% to 1.6% of the Tongkat Ali herbal extract.
And the active content that can be extracted from Tongkat Ali is much lower than that, averaging between 0.0039% to 0.0246%.
According to FRIM medicinal plants programme director, Dr Rasadah Mat Ali, she concluded the low amount of Tongkat Ali found in Tongkat Ali coffee was not sufficient to benefit one’s health.
You can read all about it from credible research papers published here.
If you accidentally bought one, you must be thinking how much Tongkat Ali coffee do I need to drink to gain the health benefits?
Here is a rule of thumb used by many Tongkat Ali research experts.
If one packet of Tongkat Ali coffee contains an average of 7.8 nanogram of Tongkat Ali, it means you need to drink almost 100 cups to enjoy the health benefits.
So which is the best Tongkat Ali coffee that I should buy?

Artisan Tongkat Ali coffees such as AKARALI Coffee are increasingly popular in Malaysia.
With two shots of espresso mixed with fresh dairy milk and 150mg of Tongkat Ali extract in each bottle, our vision of a perfect Tongkat Ali coffee delivers an earthy and smoky taste with a hint of bitterness from Tongkat Ali.
Are you ready to create your own version of Tongkat Ali coffee?
You can take Tongkat Ali coffee regularly throughout the day, or when you need to. Ideally, the recommended intake is between 2-3 cups a day.
The reality for most non-coffee aficionados is this.
Whether it is two, three or even four cups, the amount that you can consume largely depends on your tolerance for caffeine. The addition of Tongkat Ali may positively reduce your dependency on caffeine too.
But some find the Tongkat Ali coffee experience a bit too intense for them.
So the best way is to monitor and control your intake whilst understanding how your body react to Tongkat Ali coffee.
And if you are experimenting with your homemade Tongkat Ali coffee, our recommended intake (i.e one cup of coffee) is to add between 100 to 150mg of Tongkat Ali per serving.
If you feel a bit jittery than usual (due to the effect of alkaloids from Tongkat Ali and caffeine), you may reduce the amount of coffee or add more milk.
