Bringing you a range of energising herbal infusions based on our hero ingredient - the guayusa leaf. Pronounced "why-you-sa", this leaf comes from a holly tree endemic to the Ecuadorian Amazon, where it has been consumed by indigenous peoples for over two thousand years as a daily source of vitality, health and mental wellbeing. Packed with more antioxidants than green tea, a deliciously smooth and almost creamy flavour, and with slow-release caffeine for a more sustained and focused energy, guayusa offers a new and healthier alternative to existing caffeine sources. It not only has benefits for the consumer, but the growing guayusa industry is also demonstrating new, more equitable and more environmentally friendly ways of doing business in the Amazon region. The guayusa we source is grown on smallholder farms with farmers paid 15% above the Fairtrade price for their produce. These farmers use centuries old farming systems known as "chacras", in which multiple crops are grown together side by side, in a way that mimics nature and helps protect biodiversity and reduce deforestation.
