Our organic Guayusa (gwhy-you-sa) herb is harvested from the Amazon rainforests of Ecuador. This caffeinated herb from the holly tree is the cousin of Yerba Mate, but has a much more mild and sweet flavor profile making it a more palatable option for many.

Guayusa is known for its gentle and balanced stimulant effects due to naturally occuring alkaloids (also found in green tea). These alkaloids are known to produce a sustainable release of caffeine without a crash. Guayusa leaves also contain polyphenols, which can help to promote a decrease in inflammation and support the immune system.

Do not use Guayusa if you have a heart condition or are sensitive to caffeine. Please consult your physician before use, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.

Jason ★★★★★

Steeped it this morning instead of my usual coffee and the sweetness caught me off guard, in a good way. The energy came on smooth and steady, no jitters, and it lasted well into the afternoon. I'll definitely be adding a few more boxes to my next order.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The first steep tastes surprisingly smooth and lightly sweet, nothing like the bitterness I get from yerba mate. I've been swapping my morning coffee for this and the focus lasts well past lunch without the jitters.

Michael Z. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the sweetness claim, but this really is mellow for a caffeinated tea — no bitterness even after five minutes of steeping. The energy boost from the holly leaf is smooth and doesn't leave me jittery like coffee does. Definitely my new afternoon focus ritual.
