Traditional Guayusa (Teabags) from Runa

Very interesting. This herbal tea has a smooth, herbaceous sweetness that reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. It's somewhere between chia seeds and, what, goji berries? It's good, though.
It also has undertones of non-bitter black tea, though it contains no tea.
It easily makes a second cup an...

This is the first time I've tried plain (unflavored) guayusa. I'm used to drinking black teas and other similar things, so that's what I'm comparing it to. It smells kind of like the woods on a wet day. The flavor is weird - it tastes okay but it has a hint of rotting plant flavor, and that turns me off to it. I added ...

I actually thought this tea had a rather subdued peppermint presence, and I noticed the guayusa more than the mint, which is good. I did not think the two flavors blended particularly well with each other though...the mint seemed to obscure or cloud the Guayusa and vice versa.
The aroma was muddled, the flavor mild...

I was very curious to try this. It is more tea-like than Yerba mate...less sweet, I find. Definitely similar to Yerba mate, more so than any other drink, but still fairly distinct. Brews a fairly clear brown cup with a slight greenish tinge.
Aroma is hard to describe...almost perfumey, but in a subdued way. Remi...
Ginger Citrus from Runa
Style: Flavored Guayusa – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

This one reminded me a lot of lemon-ginger herbal blends, but is substantially different. It uses orange, not lemon, and uses only orange peel, no extracts, which I greatly appreciate. The orange is subtle, but has a fairly fruity quality, and is recognizable as orange. The Guayusa mostly disappears into the backgro...

I was expecting this to taste a lot like Masala chai, and it didn't. The aroma is very gentle and soft, almost creamy...like rice pudding or oatmeal. There's a moderate amount of cinnamon, and it's a very soft type of cinnamon. I have to really focus to notice the lemongrass; I don't think I would have identified th...

This tastes a lot like plain peppermint. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's all right. I'm not a big fan of herbal teas in general. I'm drinking it with cream and sugar.

This is pretty good for an herbal tea. I don't usually like herbal teas. It smells mostly like cinnamon. It funny that it's called Guayusa Spice, and the only spice it has is cinnamon. The flavor is pretty good, though. I added cream and sugar.

This stuff is awesome! It isn't very bitter at all, and has tons of caffein and antioxidants! It tastes kind of like a Spiced Chai Chamomile or something. Be sure to check out our Full Review! It's a video!!!
