The kola nut powder is a caffeine-rich nut found on evergreen Cola trees, mainly Cola acuminata and Cola nitida species. Cola acuminata is a 20-meter-tall evergreen tree with long, ovoid leaves that are pointed at both ends and have a leathery texture. The flowers are cream with purplish-brown striations, and the fruit is star-shaped with 5 follicles. A dozen prismatic seeds form in a white seed-shell inside each follicle. The aroma of the nut is pleasant and rose-like. The initial flavor is bitter, but it sweetens as you chew. The caffeine in the nut can be extracted by boiling it.
