Loose Leaf Guayusa Tea
$26.00
Guayusa Tea – Sacred Energy & Ancestral Clarity
Sourced from the Ecuadorian Amazon, Guayusa is a sacred leaf revered by the Kichwa people and traditionally shared at dawn. In these early morning gatherings, women, elders, and families sip Guayusa together—listening to dreams, singing songs, and sharing stories. It is a plant of connection, clarity, and presence.
Naturally caffeinated, Guayusa offers the energy of coffee without the crash—thanks to its unique balance of caffeine, theobromine, and L-theanine, an amino acid that sharpens focus and supports mental clarity.
Smooth, earthy, and slightly sweet, Guayusa is also rich in antioxidants—nearly 50% more than green tea—and supports:
-
Sustained mental focus and cognitive clarity
-
Postpartum energy and relief from menstrual cramps
-
Gentle support for the gut, immune resilience, and blood sugar regulation
-
Prostate and kidney health, stamina
-
Anti-inflammatory support
For women, Guayusa supports relief from menstrual cramps and postpartum energy. For men, it promotes steady, grounded energy and endurance.
