Guayusa and Chocolate 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, velvety cocoa nibs combine with refreshing Guayusa for a dessert-like tea that's rich and stimulating.
