Guayusa is a smooth, naturally caffeinated Amazonian holly leaf infusion, traditionally consumed for energy and focus. With a balanced caffeine profile, antioxidants, and theobromine, it offers a gentle lift without the bitterness of yerba mate or the jitters of coffee. Revered by indigenous communities for vitality and ritual use, guayusa is now enjoyed worldwide as a clean, plant‑based source of sustained energy.
