EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF GUAYUSA AMAZON
It's almost like a morning ritual in parts of the world. For example, Ecuador's Jivaro tribe drank Guayusa tea early in the morning. They told stories while they enjoyed the Guayusa leaf tea.1 It was the Jivaro who referred to the Guayusa plant as "night Watchman". The name "night Watchman" stuck because the Jivaro discovered that the plant helped them to stay awake.
As someone who cares about her health, you may have heard the Guayusa Amazon plant referred to as Ilex Guayusa. Some people love Guayusa, whether they eat its dried leaves, one of the ways that Herbal Goodness, manufactures and offers Guayusa. Other people love drinking a cup of Guayusa leaf tea in the morning or afternoon.
Although Guayusa has more caffeine than green tea, it has less caffeine than coffee. Even more, Guayusa caffeine offers a gentle, relaxing feeling instead of the jittery, uneasy feeling that you might get from coffee. It's the amino acid, L-theanine that provides this calm, relaxing experience.
