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, we've combined it with Chai spices for an aromatic, spicy tea.
