Where can you buy Guayusa tea in the USA?
Guayusa is still much less common than coffee, green tea or yerba mate, so many U.S. shoppers find it online rather than in conventional grocery stores. When comparing options, look for clear information about origin, certifications, leaf format, shipping and how the seller describes caffeine and traditional use.
Upina offers loose-leaf Guayusa in a 4 oz sample, 1 lb, 5 lb and 10 lb sizes. Our 5 Pound size includes free shipping to the United States.

How does Guayusa taste?
Guayusa has a smooth, earthy and relatively clean flavour. It is naturally caffeinated but is not the same plant as tea (Camellia sinensis) or yerba mate. Many people enjoy it as a morning drink or as an alternative to their usual coffee ritual.
How do you brew loose-leaf Guayusa?
Use about 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water, heat the water to approximately 90–95°C (195–200°F), and steep for 5–8 minutes. You can also brew it stronger and pour it over ice.
