Good tea, unusual. In general, we like to try something new, and new teas in the forefront. South American tea Guayusa (Guayusa) had never been bought before. And on Herbe, in addition to this option, there is no guayus at all. Brewed boiling water and allowed to brew for a bit - 5 minutes. I remembered for a long time that it reminds me of the fragrance and came to the conclusion that most of all it looks like a lime tree, but to taste it is absolutely not linden. Taste is generally a usual good herbal tea or rather herbal collection. It is difficult to distinguish some nuances, probably it's just the taste of guayus and all :) The composition contains caffeine, but the invigorating effect is poorly expressed, much like from green tea. This is strange, because there is a lot of caffeine in guayus and maybe the processing and packing in sachets affects here. In general, there is usually no caffeine in herbal teas, but there is. By the way, caffeine is also found in mate, which is a relative of guayus. We'll order it again. Details about Guayusa in the help. REFERENCE. Guayas is the tea of ​​the Indians of South America. Brewed from leaves of a tree of a tree of holly (Latin Ilex guayusa), growing in the tropical forests of the Amazon. Interesting is the fact that the plant is not capable of producing germinal seeds, so its existence depends entirely on people. Indians of Ecuador call tea from guayusa "night watch" - thanks to the huge content of caffeine (approximately 90 mg per 250 g, while in coffee - 120 mg per 250 g), the drink sharpens the reaction and helps to stay awake all night. For the indigenous inhabitants of the countryside, the guayas cup in the mornings is an obligatory item in the daily routine, even a kind of social ritual. They wake up at 3 am, sit down by the fire and drink tea until dawn. At this time shamans interpret dreams, and wise old Indians teach young people how to hunt and tell ancient legends. In order to make tea, guayuca leaves, fresh or dry, are boiled. Due to the high concentration of caffeine (and also theobromine and guanidine), they can be brewed more than once, sometimes the same leaves are used for several days. Unlike coffee, tea from guayus is not contraindicated in cases of increased acidity and other problems of the gastrointestinal tract. The effect of this drink on the body is ambiguous: on the one hand this is a mild stimulant, on the other - a relaxing remedy. Indians of Quechua say that guayus promotes a calm sleep and pleasant dreams. If the feedback was helpful, please click YES. We invite to our page - more than 800 quality reviews in one place!
