Traditional & Modern Use:

The Amazonian tree known as Ilex guayusa is the superior cousin to Yerba mate and is a true miracle plant as a stimulant, both mentally and physically. 

This makes it an excellent weight loss aid, metabolism booster and fat burner. The Ecuadorian indigenous people drink guayusa tea as a social morning ritual for its dream recall enhancing qualities. Guayusa is said to have shown incredible results in cognitive learning, memory & concentration. 

This tea is a beautiful mood enhancer with very effective stimulation leaving one without anxiety, heartbeat increase or comedown crash. It is rich in amino acids, antioxidants, and methylxantine alkaloids 
(including caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine).

Each plant receives great love and respect; masterfully cared for with the perfect balance of shade and water.

The leaves are then shade dried and chopped to a perfect consistency before we import them.

Functioning as a balanced stimulant, guayusa is said to promote restful sleep and good dreams. Unlike coffee, it is said to be good for excessive acidity and other problems in the stomach and bile.

It is believed to be both energizing and relaxing at the same time and develops mental strength. It is smooth and never bitter with a rich, earthy aroma and slightly sweet finish. 

Guayusa tea is an antioxidant-rich "pick-me-up" and a great alternative to coffee!

Ilex guayusa is an Amazonian tree of the holly genus, native to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. One of three known caffeinated holly trees, the leaves of the guayusa tree are dried and brewed as a tea for their stimulative effects.

This incredible tea is said to soothe upset stomachs and also "enliven the senses". Guayusa combines the stimulating effect of caffeine with the medicinal and relaxation benefits of a chemical called guanidine. 

In addition to caffeine, guayusa also contains theobromine, a stimulant commonly found in chocolate, and L-theanine, a glutamic acid analog found in green tea that has been shown to reduce physical and mental stress.

Guayusa contains all of the essential amino acids for humans and has a “high antioxidant activity”; higher than commercial green teas.

How To Use:

Make some tea! Use about a rounded teaspoon of the chopped leaves (1.5 grams) for a nice effect. Allow it to steep for several minutes and enjoy! Or, try our tea bags for a "no-hassle" preparation!

What you may experience is a high energy building throughout the day with no "rushy" feeling or hard comedown; just a great way to stay awake and feel refreshed!

Unlike coffee or other energy drinks, Guayusa provides balanced energy without the jitters or crash usually associated with caffeinated drinks. It provides a slow release of caffeine for alertness and sustainable energy.
