I received Runa Cinnamon Lemongrass Guayusa Tea from Swaggable to review. I did a little research on guayusa before trying it - this is what I found. Guayusa is a caffeinated tree leaf native to the Amazon. The Ecuadorian Kichwa people have traditionally used guayusa to create a drink that gave "focused energy" and "sharpened their instincts." Unlike most drinks with caffeine, guayusa is supposed to provide energy without a crash. So...does this tea really do what it says it does?
Yeah, pretty much. The first thing I was impressed by when trying this tea was the taste. It's incredibly smooth. I usually find that tea has a bitter or drying aftertaste. But not this tea. I also liked the hint of cinnamon. But did it provide energy? Yes! I actually felt awake and refreshed. I didn't experience a crash either. This tea is organic, gluten free, kosher, and a fair trade product.
Does this mean I'm giving up my coffee habit? No, my love for coffee runs too deep. But I will add this to the beverages I drink for some energy. Overall - thumbs up!
