Finely Cut Guayusa Tea – Amazonian Energy and Clarity

Sourced from the heart of the Amazon, our finely cut Guayusa delivers a smooth, sustained energy boost without the jitters or crash. Known as the "Night Watchman" by indigenous Kichwa communities, Guayusa has been used for centuries to promote clarity, focus, and endurance.

Our fine-cut Guayusa is ground to a smaller tea size, allowing for quicker preparation and a stronger brew. Whether enjoyed traditionally or as a refreshing iced tea, this nutrient-rich infusion connects you to the wisdom of the rainforest with every sip.

Directions

For a traditional brew, we recommend 1 tablespoon (3 grams) of ground Guayusa per 8 oz of water.

1. Bring fresh, cold water to a boil.
2. Pour boiling water over the Guayusa leaves.
3. Steep for 4–7 minutes, or longer for a stronger, darker brew.
4. Strain tea into a pot or drinking vessel. A French press can also be used.

In Ecuador, Guayusa is often enjoyed hot or cold with lemon juice and panela for a naturally sweet and refreshing twist.
