WAKE UP & SLOW DOWN Our favorite caffeinated beverage does something mysteriously amazing: it simultaneously energizes and calms.

EGCG is a catechin associated with weight loss, disease prevention, cognitive function, and calmness. L-theanine is an amino-acid that generates lower-frequency brain waves (Alpha Waves). Alpha brainwaves are associated with relaxation, meditation, and creativity. Research also suggests that alpha brainwaves minimize depressive symptoms. The caffeine in tea provides stimulation, which is countered by the calming effects of EGCG and L-theanine. The result is that drinking tea can improve our mental focus and attention, while creating peaceful feelings. In other words, it...

This tea is refreshing and energizing for the body and mind! Guayusa is the slightly more caffeinated relative of Yerba Mate. We love Guayusa because of its bold earthiness and how forgiving it is of high steep temperatures (Matés can become astringent and ashy when steeped in water that is too hot, whereas Guayusa is a little more resilient). The combination of Guayusa and Peppermint promotes physical and mental energy, as well as healthy digestion and metabolism!
