Questions about this tea
How much caffeine is in Traditional Guayusa Loose Leaf?
About 66 mg per serving (roughly 4 g of leaf in 8 oz of water). For comparison, the FDA puts an 8 oz cup of coffee at about 80–100 mg. Steep longer or add more leaf for a stronger cup.
How many cups does a 2 lb bag make?
About 225 cups at a 4 g serving. If you like a stronger brew, you'll get fewer cups; if you re-steep the leaves, you'll get more.
What does Traditional Guayusa taste like?
Rich and earthy with a pleasant bitterness, a light floral note and a gentle natural sweetness. It is often described as milder and less bitter than yerba mate.
Can I cold-brew it?
Yes. Add the leaves to cold water, stir and leave it for 2 hours or more, then strain. No heat needed.
Is this leaf smoked?
No. Our guayusa is withered and air-dried, never smoked, so the flavor is the leaf itself.
