How to Brew
How to Brew
Use 1–2 tsp of loose-leaf Guayusa per 8oz of water. Heat water to 90–95°C (just off the boil). Steep for 5–8 minutes. Guayusa won't turn bitter — the longer it steeps, the deeper the flavour. Enjoy plain or with honey and lemon.

About Guayusa
Ilex guayusa is a caffeinated holly tree native to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Used by Indigenous Kichwa communities for over 2,000 years, it delivers smooth, sustained energy through a unique blend of caffeine, theobromine, and L-theanine — no jitters, no crash, and remarkably gentle on the stomach thanks to its low tannin count.
