Authorities are investigating after green cocaine disguised as matcha tea was seized in Ohio.
The Cincinnati U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized the drugs, according to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by the agency’s Chicago field.
The green cocaine was found in six bags labeled as matcha tea, officials said. Labs confirmed that the green powdery substance was 14 pounds of cocaine.
The shipment originated in Mexico and was on its way to Israel, according to officials.
Authorities did not say if any arrests were made.
