Guayusa (gwhy-you-sa) is a rare herbal tea produced from the leaves of a holly tree (ilex guayusa) native to the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador. Guayusa is naturally caffeinated and has an awakening effect similar to coffee and yerba mate. In this signature blend, smooth Guayusa is complemented by green tea for a pleasing brew that is antioxidant rich and rejuvenating.
