Guayusa is a species of tree of the holly genus, native to the Amazon Rainforest. One of three known caffeinated holly trees, the leaves of the guayusa tree are dried and brewed like a tea for their stimulative effects. (Source: Wikipedia.org)
You can find this plant in Ecuador, Peru, and Columbia. It is related to the Yerba Mate plant.
It works pretty well when I have brewed up the loose leaf version. It is a different kind of energy than what you feel when you drink Green Tea, Coffee, or Energy drinks.
