Runa Tea is made from the guayusa (why-you-sah) holly leaf cultivated in the Ecuadorean Amazon. A truly balanced stimulant, guayusa contains caffeine, antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids to awaken the mind and fortify the body. Its combined effect is one of sustained energy, what the indigenous Kichwa people call “mental strength and courage.” Guayusa, unlike green tea, black tea or yerba mate, has no tannins, giving a smooth and rich taste without the bitterness or astringency of other teas. Guayusa is sustainably grown under the rainforest canopy and exclusively produced by indigenous farming families on their ancestral lands. Guayusa is a great tea for blends because of its smooth balanced flavor and energizing properties. Guayusa’s unique blend of caffeine, theobromine, and theophyline is what facilitates a whole-body feeling of awareness and presence.
