Traditional green and black teas are packed with polyphenolic compounds called tannins, which quickly leach into your cup and create a harsh, mouth-drying bitterness if over-steeped. Guayusa is naturally almost 100% tannin-free. Because there are no tannins present, you can steep the loose leaves for 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or even leave them in your teapot all day long, and the brew will remain completely smooth, fresh, and naturally sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"47\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"47\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: How does the energy from Guayusa compare to coffee or traditional energy drinks?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"48\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"48\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eA:\u003c\/b\u003e Coffee and industrial energy drinks release a rapid, unbuffered spike of caffeine into your bloodstream, which frequently over-stimulates the nervous system, causing jitters, anxiety, and a sudden physical \"crash\" a few hours later.

This unique combination slows down the absorption rate, delivering a remarkably steady, focused, and calm state of daily vitality without any jitters or crashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"49\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"49\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Why does the country of origin list both Ecuador and Poland?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"50\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"50\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eA:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"50\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eIlex guayusa\u003c\/i\u003e is an exclusive native rainforest tree that can only grow authentically within the unique climate and soil environments of the upper Amazon basin, which is why our crop is sustainably cultivated by specialist growers in Ecuador.
