Guayusa (Ilex guayusa) is an herb from the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest. In recent years, it has gained recognition for its flavor and properties. It is a relative of Yerba Mate with a unique taste: mild, earthy, slightly sweet, with grassy notes and no tannins. The agroforestry extraction of guayusa is made by local farmers, and focuses on organic sustainable practices, favoring biodiversity, and the preservation of local culture and traditions.
