Ecuador is famous for its fine aroma cacao, and the Arriba variety is one of its best-known expressions, valued for its distinctive, floral flavor. Grown in the Amazon alongside many other plants, cacao is a natural partner for our guayusa: both come from Ecuador, and both have been part of daily life in the region for generations.
Guayusa Cacao: back in 2027
Our Guayusa Cacao blends guayusa leaf with Ecuadorian fine aroma cacao. Brewed like coffee in a French press, it makes a chocolatey cup with about 80 mg of caffeine per teaspoon and no added sugar, somewhere between tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
Our current batch has sold out and the next one will be ready in 2027. Use the "Notify me" button on the Guayusa Cacao page to hear as soon as it returns, or browse the Cacao collection.
