More on Runa Tea:

Experience the clear, focused energy of an ancient tradition with Runa Tea. Powered by Guayusa (gwhy-you-sa), a native Amazonian tree leaf brewed for thousands of years by the indigenous peoples of the Ecuadorian Amazon, Runa Teas provide as much caffeine as a cup of coffee and twice the antioxidants of green tea for a drink that quenches thirst and helps you feel “Runa”—fully alive.

A cousin to the popular Yerba Mate, Guayusa has a sweet flavor because it doesn’t have the bitter tannins of Yerba Mate and many other teas. Guayusa is packed with antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins and L-theamine—ingredients known to calm the nervous system, contribute to cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. These ingredients also help sustain the caffeine energy of the tea, keeping you from a big crash.*

Runa Teas are shade grown in diverse rainforest gardens called chacras to maintain the integrity of the ecological region while providing sustainable income sources to the area’s people.
