As your eyes droop and you start to yawn constantly, reaching for that afternoon cup of coffee may be your first thought. But instead of the joe, why not try a healthier pick-me-up?
Guayusa is not related to the Camellia sinensis plant, the one grown to produce most of the caffeinated teas we drink on a regular basis. Instead, it’s grown in forest-fashion, with no chemical additives and very little human contact. It has about the same caffeine content as coffee, is chock-full of polyphenols, and is beneficial for both weight loss and heart health.
