Questions about this tea
How much caffeine is in Guayusa Cacao?
About 80 mg per teaspoon, at the lower end of a cup of coffee (the FDA puts 12 oz of brewed coffee at about 113–247 mg).
Is it sweet?
It has a natural hint of sweetness from the cacao and the leaf, but no added sugar. Add honey or milk if you like it sweeter.
Do I need a French press?
A French press is the easiest way. A coarse filter or a teapot with a strainer works too; just don't let it sit on the grounds for too long.
Why pour it into a carafe right after pressing?
If it stays on the grounds, it keeps extracting and turns bitter. Pouring it off right away keeps the flavor smooth.
