We couldn’t say it at first either, but say it with us.. Why-You-Suh.

Want energy without the jitters? Guayusa, also known as Ilex guayusa, is said to be one of three known caffeinated holly trees in the world. It is most commonly found in the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. This evergreen tree can grow up to 100 ft tall. Traditionally, its leaves are picked and brewed to make herbal teas.

With a rich, bright, earthy aroma, and caffeine content, Guayusa is a great alternative to coffee, green tea, and yerba maté. You can also sprinkle Guayusa leaves on fruits, salads, and more!

To brew, add 1 teaspoon to a mug, and pour in 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 5–7 minutes. You can use tea filters, strainers, or a calabash gourd & straw.
