Amazonian Treasure – organic loose-leaf guayusa 454 g

Guayusa is a plant from the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, whose leaves are used to make an aromatic infusion. This product is loose guayusa in a 454 g pouch, sourced from organic farming. The taste is mild and slightly sweet, without the bitterness typical of many teas rich in tannins.

Natural energy

Guayusa infusion contains caffeine, as well as L-theanine, theobromine and theophylline, so it is often chosen as an alternative to coffee or yerba mate. According to the manufacturer, a 3 g serving (about two teaspoons) provides 60–90 mg of caffeine.

How to brew

• Measure about 3 g, that is two teaspoons of loose-leaf tea, per cup of hot water (about 240 ml).
• Use an infuser, a teapot or a strainer; you can also brew it in a gourd like yerba.
• For a stronger taste, extend the brewing time or add more leaves.
• The infusion can be served cold, with ice.

Specifications

This is a loose-leaf tea that is easy to brew in a strainer or a pitcher. The pouch keeps the leaves fresh, and the large quantity is enough for many brews.
