Guayusa is the future Energy Drink Revolution.
This incredible plant has a strong potential to become one of your new best friends.
It contains more caffeine than any other plants, its effects last for 12+ hours with no rush nor crash.
Powered by the Jaguar Spirit, its Feline, Wild Jungle essence is infused with Playfulness, Sensuality, and Audacity!
Every morning for the last 1500 years, the Kichwa tribes have gathered to share a delicious brew of Guayusa leaves. The ceremony is called “Guayusada” (Guayusa Dream Ceremony), an occasion to recall and decipher the dreams of the community. The precious hints collected from the dreaming of the night will bring clarity for the upcoming day.
The Kichwa people describe the effects of Guayusa as making them feel “Runa”, translating as “Fully Alive”.
Guayusa’s link to the Jaguar Spirit is profound. It endows humans with the potent Hunter Energy—enhanced focus, clarity, and heightened senses. As a feminine essence, it also fosters an open heart, encouraging joy and intimacy.
According to the Kichwa, Guayusa aids in realizing our highest aspirations, offering patience, courage, and motivation to fulfil our dreams.

Wonderful helpful plant~ so happy to have found it because you all are putting it out there! The resin and the leaves of the plant are equally good, but resin is great when one is not having the time to make tea. Thank you!
