WHAT IS GUAYUSA?

Pronounced why-you-sa, this ancient herb comes from a type of Holly tree (Ilex Guayusa). Guayusa thrives where the Ecuadorian Amazon meets the Andes, and the leaves are picked, dried and brewed to make a nourishing herbal tea. Today, Guayusa is growing in popularity around the world for its natural boost of caffeine and antioxidants.

• Did you know that Guayusa contains more antioxidants than a cup of green tea? Antioxidants are responsible for reducing inflammation, stimulating the immune system and fighting off disease.
• Guayusa contains 15 Amino Acids, which are the "building blocks of life". One of the most notable Amino Acids is L-Theanine, which has the ability to calm the mind, while increasing energy and awareness. 
• Guayusa is rich in minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, zinc, chromium and calcium. These minerals work to maintain proper fluid balance and strengthen your bones.
• Guayusa is rich in Vitamins D and C, which are involved in many body functions such as promoting healthy bones, supporting the immune system and repairing body tissues.
• The properties in Guayusa are believed to aid digestion as well as prevent bloating, stomach upset and constipation.
• With Guayusa, you will avoid the caffeine "jitters" or "slump". Guayusa slowly releases over 4-6 hours, fuelling you with natural, clean energy.

Finally, a clean, delicious, smooth, and slightly sweet caffeinated drink that won't leave you with the dreaded coffee crash. Spice up your morning routine with the clean energy from Guayusa Tea blended with Australian Cinnamon Myrtle.

The first of its kind, this blend celebrates two ancient cultures. Guayusa has been revered by the Kichwa tribes in Ecuador for thousands of years due to its energy-giving and powerful healing benefits. This is lovingly combined with Cinnamon Myrtle, which has traditionally been used by Indigenous Australians to aid digestion and soothe the body and mind.

• Sustainably Grown: This Guayusa and Cinnamon Myrtle is sustainably harvested based on ancient farming practices.  Ayusa collaborate with Indigenous farmers who believe in protecting and maintaining local biodiversity.
• Supports Indigenous Tribes: With every cup you drink, you will be supporting two ancient cultures: Indigenous Australians and Kichwa Tribes from Ecuador.
• 100% Organic: All of these ingredients are lovingly grown, without the use of fertilizers, pesticides, or other harsh chemicals.
• A Coffee Replacement: Guayusa is a healthier alternative to coffee, as it offers a long-lasting energy boost and is packed with antioxidants. What's more, it contains no tannins, so it doesn't have the bitter taste of coffee or green tea.
