Guayusa Tea

You can become part of the bridge between good health and rainforest conservation by joining the Guayusa Tea Drinkers' Cooperative venture.


Guayusa, a great tea that is ready to be discovered by the world at large, could provide a much-needed alternative economy to forest-dwelling peoples. CCBD makes fairly-traded, sustainably-harvested, 100% organic Guayusa tea available to people throughout the world in a way that

could provide a sustainable livelihood for indigenous communities, based on their own traditional source of health.


Contact us for more information about Guayusa, Guayusa traditions, or the Guayusa Harvesters' Cooperative, or visit www.drinkguayusatea.com.

Cherished by the local Indigenous people and cultivated as family hierloom, a Guayusa tree can live thousands of years, standing strong through centuries of windstorms and other environmental pressures of the intense rainforest climate. 


The leaves are brewed into a shimmering, golden green tea and are drunk daily for health and vitality.


In addition to functioning as a gentle stimulant and source of sustained energy, Guayusa balances the body's pH, detoxifies the blood, tones the kidneys and urinary tract, improves digestion and elimination, strengthens the lungs, cleanses cholesterol, balances blood sugar levels, and serves as a cerebral tonic that aids in concentration, memory, and clear thought.
