Technical Questions

Practical answers on formats, regulatory status, caffeine content and certifications for teams evaluating guayusa.

Loose leaf in 10–40 mesh cuts, micro-ground powder and tea bags — all processed within 48 hours of harvest at our GMP facility in Tena, Ecuador, with moisture controlled at ≤12%.

A 1.5 g serving of dried leaf provides roughly 31 mg of natural caffeine, working alongside L-theanine and theobromine for a smooth, sustained energy profile without the spike and crash.

Under the EU Novel Food framework, the aqueous extract of guayusa leaf is the authorized format for the European market. Our team can guide you toward compliant applications for your region.

Our guayusa is USDA and EU certified organic and Kosher, produced in a GMP facility with a 24-month shelf life and full traceability to more than 100 Kichwa farming families.
