Wayusa or Guayusa – Sacred Amazonian Energy in a Cup

 

A traditional, energizing tea from the heart of the Amazon jungle – Wayusa (Ilex guayusa) is the ancient secret of the Kichwa people of Ecuador. Known as the "dreaming leaf," Wayusa is a natural alternative to coffee that promotes clarity, focus, and a balanced energy without the crash.

 

Indulge in a brew that has been prepared for thousands of years from the leaves of Ilex Guayusa – a holly plant growing in the sacred lands beneath the dense canopy of the Amazon rainforest. This plant is a close relative of yerba maté’s Paraguayan holly, offering a taste and effects that are similar yet uniquely its own. Known as the “night guardian of Ecuador,” Guayusa will, from the very first sips, bless you with refreshing energy and give you the strength to face even the most demanding day.

 

Unlike typical stimulants, Wayusa brings you into calm alertness—clear mind, steady body, and a nourished spirit. It’s no wonder Amazonian tribes drink it before hunting, meditation, or dreaming.

Guayusa – A Natural Source of Energy from the Amazon Rainforest

 

The Amazon is not only the “lungs of the planet” but also an endless treasure trove of plants that benefit humankind. Among them stands out Guayusa – also known as wayusa – an evergreen tree from the holly family, highly valued and protected in Ecuador. Its leaves are used to prepare a caffeinated infusion similar to Yerba Maté, yet with a smoother, pleasantly sweet flavor.

 

Cultivated in Harmony with Nature

Guayusa is grown mainly in the Ecuadorian provinces of Napo and Pastaza, near national parks, but it can also be found in Colombia and Peru. These are small family farms that honor traditional methods and organic farming – with no fertilizers or chemicals. The leaves grow for 3–4 years before being hand-picked and sun-dried, giving them their unmistakable aroma and taste.

 

A Traditional Ritual of the Indigenous People

For the Kichwa tribe, Guayusa has been part of the daily morning ritual for over 1,500 years. According to legend, a shaman once prayed for a plant that would help his people both dream and stay awake. The leaf infusion gave hunters long-lasting energy and focus, while in different doses it induced deep meditation and vivid visions.

 

The Natural Power and Benefits of Guayusa

Guayusa is rich in:

• Caffeine – natural energy without sharp crashes
