ECUATEA GUAYUSA IS
A GOLD AWARD WINNER

THE TASTE OF WEST AWARDS 2016

BUY HERE NOW AT SHNUFF.CO.UK

Strong, Stable Energy

The benefits of Guayusa are impressive;

The average cup of brewed Ecuatea contains almost as much caffeine as coffee (this leaf is second only to coffee for its caffeine content) but it is delivered in a completely different way.
THREE STIMULANTS combined with very high levels of a relaxing compound called L-Theanine means you get a gentle, natural boost.
It doesn’t hit your adrenals like coffee or energy drinks do – you feel naturally alert rather than forcibly stimulated.
There are no jitters, no tummy problems, no caffeine crash and can actually promote lucid dreaming
All of this without the bitterness of tannins (which also reduce iron absorption).

No… it‘s not just another ’green tea’…
Guayusa provides you with energy, health, vitality & focus…
in a smooth, slightly sweet & clean tasting drink.

(And calorie & bitterness free too !)

Your secret weapon
for peak performance.

Lasting Energy. There is now evidence to support the sustained energy release claims of Guayusa. It has high levels of antioxidants, including catechins, which are reported to fight cancer and increase metabolism, and chlorogenic acids, which can aid in weight loss by slowing the uptake of glucose from the intestines.

Endurance. The chemical compounds and nutrients in Guayusa can affect your metabolism to make your body use carbohydrates more efficiently.
This means you’ll get more energy from the food you eat. You’ll also burn more of the calories your body has stored in fat cells as fuel when you drink it regularly.

Regular Guayusa consumption can also help keep lactic acid from building up in your muscles so you can decrease post workout soreness and cut your recovery time.

Weight Control. Used as part of a lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and exercise, Guayusa has stimulant qualities that help you feel full sooner after you begin eating, and it slows your digestion so that your stomach stays full longer.

Combining Guayusa with a healthy diet and regular exercise can not only help boost your metabolism to burn more calories, it can also help you eat less by having the effect of reducing your appetite.

Cardiovascular Health. The antioxidants and amino acids present in Guayusa may help fat and cholesterol move through your bloodstream so that they don’t accumulate on artery walls.

Guayusa may also help prevent arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and blood clots that may cause heart attack or stroke.

The Sápara tribe traditionally use Guayusa to increase stamina on their hunting trips
In Peru the Shipibo medicine men prescribe a fairly strong, mainly guayusa based drink to people who are suffering from trauma, as a way for them to overcome their fear.
In the northern jungle of Ecuador, the Kichwa people, use the plant to stave off hunger, and can regularily be found to only take bundles of guayusa leaves as their sole food source.

Caffeine content in guayusa is a little less than in dark roast coffee, yet the synergy of these various compounds creates, an as yet not fully understood mechanism in which the body metabolizes the caffeine in guayusa over a longer period of time.

“For endurance athletes who’d like to have more of a sustained release if they’re doing something more than a quick run—this really helps for that,” says Chris Fields, vice president of scientific affairs at Applied Food Sciences, which is starting clinical trials to investigate guayusa.

Happy vibes from growers to drinkers alike!

Fairer than Fair Trade.

We all love the idea of Fair Trade but we know in our hearts that sometimes it just isn’t enough. Money which could be better spent on growers is paid in licenses, fees and audits.

We learned that one of the main exporters of Guayusa in Ecuador pays the growers a miserly $0.35c/lb of wet leaves and has no obligation to accept the leaves when they may have travelled hundreds of miles by bus to get to the processing plant. We can do better.

We pay our growers up to six times the rate that growers are paid within a Fair Trade scheme and we believe that this empowers our growers more directly by allowing more money to flow directly into their pockets instead of being paid to accreditation schemes.

A truly clean cup

While not certified organic, Our Guayusa is naturally ecologically friendly and pesticide, agro chemical & GMO free – (GMO can never be far enough away for us, but the nearest GMO crops are at least hundreds of miles away from where the leaves grow.)

Some other herbal teas contain high levels of fluoride, some are roasted or smoke dried. This can lead to the final product containing compounds commonly linked to cancer, asthma and many other health worries.

Our wild crafted, hand selected leaves are carefully washed, dried, processed and packed – so you don’t get any hidden surprises!

What do other people think of Ecuatea?

“I just love Guayusa! The stimulation is subtle but powerful – I’ve never had coffee tension on it, yet it gives me the hit. It’s also much more resilient to boiling water than green tea (which becomes bitter) and tastes nicer. It’s become my staple hot drink. How is this tea not staple everywhere. Everyone else I’ve shared some with loves it too! Thanks for this new gem in my life.”

Vegan ChefGreg Manning

“I was very excited when I first heard about Ecuatea and the power of guayusa for lucid dreaming and energy. Having tried it for a good few months, I can safely say It’s a big part of my morning routine and the energy it gives you throughout the day is incredible.”

Founder of Lucid Dreaming site, HowToLucid.comStefan Zugor–HowToLucid.com

“There is something quite magical about guayusa. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is, but it definitely feels like a special cup of tea.”

Singer, Writer & Musician Ruth Blake–Ruth Blake Music

“Thanks for sending me some of your Guayusa Amazonian Energy Tea! It is Delicious Us light beings need to keep our vibration high at times like these.”

Creator of Red Letter Days, former BBC TV ‘Dragon’Rachel Elnaugh–Source TV

“It tasted mellow and subtle in flavour .. much more elegant than green tea which is my usual choice. I noticed it was uplifting but in an unusual way … like my senses were slightly hightened … awareness and calmness of mind were very clear. We love this tea and would recommend it to anyone. ”

Chinese Medicine Practitioner & HealerDavid Nassim–Health Instinct

“Better than Red Bull for a pick me up.
Refreshing and invigorating – hot or cold”

IT AdministratorPaul DeLaney

“A nice smooth tea to gently get my day started – very conducive to concentration. I brew both hot and cold, have tried flavouring but prefer it natural.”

Not just your waking life,
The Night Watchman powers your dreams too.

Embraced by the indigenous tribes of the Amazon for at least a thousand years, Guayusa is known as “The Night Watchman”, and traditionally drunk around a campfire before dawn along with the other members of the tribe where they describe their dreams to each other.

Legend has it, that the tribes prayed for a plant that could help them connect to the spirits of the dream world. When they awoke in the morning, there was a guayusa plant in their hands. The brew was often drunk the night before a hunt, to encourage visions of whether it would be a successful outing and to provide energy required.

Guayusa can produce an alerted dream state that the tribes who drank it were said to be able to control their actions in the dreams, what we now call lucid dreaming.

We believe that the L-Theanine helps to keep the brain in a relaxed state that you stay asleep, while the stimulants in the tea allow your mind to become more alert and encourage the level of sleep where dreaming occurs. The tea should be used in conjunction with other lucid dreaming techniques for maximum effect but will still likely increase the colour and vividness of your dreams, nonetheless.
