Guayusa (Ilex guayusa) is an evergreen Holly tree native to the Amazon rainforest, primarily found in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. This vibrant holly species grows up to 30 meters tall, producing glossy, oval leaves that are harvested and dried for their energising properties.

Traditionally, Guayusa leaves are brewed to create an invigorating herbal tea enjoyed for centuries by indigenous Amazonian communities. The tea is valued for its natural caffeine content, which provides a gentle, sustained energy boost and supports mental alertness. It is often used as a coffee alternative and is rich in antioxidants, making it a popular choice for those seeking a healthy, energising beverage.

Our Guayusa extract is a powdered extract and 20% caffeine by weight (1g contains 200mg of caffeine). 

Suggested use: Dissolve 1g in 250ml of warm water.
