Sustainably Harvested Guayusa: Tradition Meets Growing Global Demand
Although demand for Guayusa has steadily risen over the last decades, it remains primarily cultivated in permaculture systems and is often handpicked. This traditional method ensures sustainability, supports biodiversity, and preserves the ecological balance of the Amazon Rainforest. The close connection between the local communities and their land is reflected in the careful harvesting process, which respects both the environment and the ancient agricultural wisdom passed down through generations. Despite its increasing popularity, the cultivation of Guayusa continues to prioritize ethical practices that benefit both the ecosystem and the indigenous farmers.

Award Winning Functional Chocolate Ingredient
Our Guayusa extract played a key role in creating an award-winning functional chocolate, with clients reporting energizing effects after consuming just a 5-gram sample. To further support chocolate makers and their needs, we developed a Guayusa powder extract, offering greater flexibility in formulation. One of our partners, a renowned bean-to-bar chocolate maker, won Gold at the Ecuador Chocolate Awards 2024 for Best Chocolate with Added Flavor, highlighting the exceptional synergy between Guayusa’s natural energy-boosting properties and high-quality cacao. This collaboration underscores the versatility of our extracts in elevating artisan chocolate to new heights.
