A house favorite! Guayusa is a lightly sweet, herbaceous, smooth brew. This South American herb is naturally caffeinated. A close cousin to yerba mate, guayusa is considered a superfood, with extremely high antioxidant concentrations that far surpass green tea. Guayusa also contains theobromine (an alkaloid that is found in dark chocolate); holds all 15 essential amino acids; and has a large number of important vitamins and minerals.

The caffeine kick is second only to coffee. However, guayusa also has high levels of the amino acid L-theanine, which produces an enhanced tranquil state. So the synergistic effect is a calm, stimulated, sustained focus. We strongly recommend this tea to anyone who is trying to wean off the joe. Absolutely perfect for your morning cup, the afternoon lows, or for that big project that has yet to be finished. Fabulous hot or iced.

This tea contains caffeine.
