Discover the story of Guayusa leaves through the culture of sharing in Amazonian mornings.
Guayusa has the botanical name Ilex guayusa. Our website introduces cultivation and harvesting traditions in the Ecuadorian Amazon, alongside the Kichwa communities’ tradition of sharing drinks at dawn. This plant contains naturally occurring caffeine.
The cultural value of Guayusa is closely tied to community gatherings and conversation. It shares the genus Ilex with Yerba Mate but has a different botanical name, offering two paths for discovering South American leaf-based drinks.
