GOURMET GUAYUSA LOOSE LEAF
Our gourmet guayusa loose leaf is unique in that it is sifted so that it does not contain dust. This, along with the cut we have chosen for our loose leaf, makes it ideal for a clean, nutrient-packed brew. Since it does not contain dust, it may take a little longer to steep (a couple of extra minutes) depending on the strength of flavor you prefer.
-
Each leaf contains caffeine, Double antioxidants of green tea and amino acids, which contributes to its nutritional value.
