Wayusa Guayusa – tea from the Amazon rainforest
Wayusa is an infusion of the leaves of the holly Ilex guayusa, which grows in the understory of the Ecuadorian Amazon. It is a close relative of Yerba Mate, but its taste is milder, without bitterness or tannins.
We offer sun-dried, hand-processed leaves from the Kichwa people. An earthy, lightly sweet tea traditionally drunk in the morning – served warm or cold.
A tea with a gentle character
Mild and earthy
Natural caffeine
L-theanine and antioxidants
By hand and in the sun
The morning ritual of the Kichwa
The Kichwa people have drunk Wayusa as part of a morning ritual for more than 1,500 years. It is traditionally served before hunting or meditation, when focus and a calm mind are needed.
According to Kichwa tradition, a shaman once asked for a plant that would help people focus and, at the same time, dream clearly.
These are traditional and cultural associations, not guaranteed effects.
From small family farms in Ecuador
Wayusa is grown mainly in the Ecuadorian provinces of Napo and Pastaza, next to national parks.
The plants grow on small family farms without fertilisers or chemicals. The leaves mature for 3–4 years, then are harvested by hand and dried in the sun.
This preserves their natural flavour and aroma.
