Description

The smooth, clean taste of guayusa at its finest. With more caffeine than any other tea and double the antioxidants of green tea, this traditional drink is the most untraditional of its kind.

My description
Nice and mild. Good flavour. I don’t notice the slight more caffeine then yerba mate but I have a high tolerance for caffeine. Tastes kind of like yerba mate but more smooth.

Their description
The smooth, clean flavor of guayusa at it’s finest. Honey and caramel notes at the end.

Guayusa (gwhy–you–sa) is a native Amazonian tree leaf that indigenous people in the Ecuadorian Amazon have brewed like tea for thousands of years. Drinking guayusa is essential to what makes them "Runa"— fully alive.

Guayusa offers a clear, focused energy by balancing as much caffeine as one cup of coffee with twice the antioxidants of green tea.

Unlike traditional teas, it contains no tannins, so it tastes surprisingly smooth and naturally sweet.
