“I absolutely love this tea!! And one tip for summer, it tastes spectacular as a cold brew over ice.”

“Upina Guayusa is a game changer. It combines the best of all worlds — fortifying, mineralizing, and uplifting. As an espresso lover, it packs enough punch to lift me up in the mornings, while still being gentle enough for my partner who is too sensitive to enjoy coffee at all. And with Upina you can feel the integrity included in every step of the process. 10/10.”
