Guayusa Loose-Leaf Tea
This boldly caffeinated Amazonian variant of the holly tree has been traditionally used for its stimulating effects and for sharpening the mind. Slightly sweet and earthy in character, this close cousin to yerba mate yields a smooth, round flavor and steeps a beautifully rich dark green hue.
Tasting Notes: sweet, earthy, vegetal
Ingredients: Organic Guayusa from Ecuador
Caffeine Content: high caffeine
Traditional South American Steeping Recommendations:
- Pack your gourd or cup & tea bag with as much guayusa or yerba maté as you want (at least 1 Tbsp / 12 floz)
- 170° - 180° water, not too hot to burn the leaves
- Sip though bombilla or drink while leaving tea bag in throughout the day
- Keep adding more hot water as needed. The first few steeps will give you the majority of the caffeine, and then the rest are for flavor, fun & tradition.
