Guayusa and Black Tea

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, Yunnan black tea has been paired with stimulating Guayusa to create a wonderful morning cup.
