Guayusa Tea

Ilex guayusa

Guayusa tea, pronounced gwhy-u-sa, is from the same family of holly trees as Yerba Mate. Guayusa has virtually no tannins, which means it doesn’t have bitter taste of many teas. Guayusa contains theobromine, a caffeine related compound, is packed with antioxidants, and has a much higher concentration of antioxidants compared to green tea.
