## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many mg of caffeine is in one serving**
A: Dear customer, thank you for the question. According to our research, guayusa leaves contain approximately 2% (19.08 ± 0.31 mg/g) of caffeine. With this data and the serving we recommend (8oz cup of water) using 2 g of guayusa, then the serving will have 38.16 mg of guayusa. Therefore, if you use more grams of guayusa per serving, with the info shared on this answer you can calculate it. Be aware that caffeine content will increase only if you do not modify the serving of 8oz cup of water.

**Q: can this cause false positive on drug test?**
A: Probably because of a PH imbalance and it has diuretics that cause frequency in the bladder! I think if you consumes a lot, this could? Im not certain!

**Q: Can I  just add this straight to a smoothie or do I need to brew this first then add ?**
A: Defintly will need to be brewed first. Leaves will not taste good in a smoothie directly

**Q: Is this FDA approved?**
A: Umm no.....does the FDA usually approve tea? 🤔

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bold flavor, great for hot or iced guayusa tea. I'll stick with this
*by L***E on January 21, 2019*

This is my second purchase of Waykana's guayusa tea in the bulk 1-lb bag. I've also tried a different, more "popular" brand (several times), but Waykana is clearly a better IMHO.Bottom Line: As long as Waykana and its farmers/sources keep doing whatever it is they do (to make a high-quality product like this), then I'll keep buying it. This is great stuff.I think I'm going to stick with Waykana for a while, for three reasons.(1) The Waykana bulk guayusa tea has a bold, non-bitter taste. It's just really good. Whereas, the last couple of bulk bags of "Brand R's" tea had a somewhat bitter, almost "medicinal" taste to it. The "Brand R" tea was not bitter with my first two purchases, so it could have just been that the source or processing of Brand R's tea in their latter two bags was "off" for some reason. Regardless if I prepare my guayusa tea using hot water, or just by "soaking" to make iced tea, the last couple of bags of Brand R tea have been consistently, noticeably more "bitter" than the Waykana. That's why, as I was almost finished with my last bag of Brand R a couple of months ago, I randomly picked another, highly-rated organic guayusa ... which happened to be this Waykana brand. I've been very pleased thus far!!(2) I like to make iced guayusa tea, a pitcher at a time. After soaking the guayusa leaves for about 3 or 4 hours, I strain out the leaves and keep the tea in a glass pitcher in the fridge. It's a very noticeable difference in taste. That could be due to the next area I mention...(3) See the attached photo. Waykana's tea leaves are chopped a little "finer" / smaller than Brand R's, and the flavor of the Waykana is just more "bold" and appealing to me, than when I previously used the Brand R tea. Overall, Waykana tea also appears to be more "green" (i.e., perhaps is "less oxidated" ?) than the Brand R tea, because Brand R's tea is noticeably darker and browner. After making iced tea with the Waykana, I immediately noticed several, small vibrant bright green fleks in the tea (almost like glitter). I hadn't noticed that with Brand R. Then again, Brand R's tea leaves are just darker, for some reason.BTW, I do like Brand R's flavored bottled teas (available in grocery stores), and will sometimes get that when I'm out, and want a healthier alternative to the myriad brands of mass-market bottled, "so-called" black teas and green teas ... the mass-market stuff usually has way more sugar, citric acid, or other things on their ingredient labels before you see the word "tea."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Tea Ever
*by G***N on March 7, 2022*

I was looking for an alternative to coffee. Coffee was starting to turn my stomach into a hot mess, leading me to seek out toilets shortly after drinking it. I moved to tea and just could not find one that gave me the energy boost that coffee did. Lo and behold, this bad boy shows up. Not only do I get the boost of energy; I don't get the jitters. So, I can have my 2 cups a day and it nobody but me is the wiser. Now, the bad part. Since this is looseleaf (cut small pieces), you have to have something to make your tea. It is not so convenient in the office. I did find, however, a tea steeper that works perfectly. I bought it because my office has one of those fancy coffee machines that will dispense boiling hot water too, so this works perfectly (HandyBrew Loose Leaf Tea Steeper Tea Brewer Tea Maker Loose Tea Strainer Tea Infuser, Safe BPA-Free Plastic Hassle-Free Ways Make Tea, 17 Fl Oz.). I put a few scoops of tea in the bottom, let the water flow, steep it for 3-5 minutes and done. Yes, cleaning it afterwards is a bit of a pain, but once you do it a few times, you realize just how easy it is to clean. This tea is on my regular rotation and will be as long as Amazon sells it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite Guayusa Tea
*by B***D on August 12, 2024*

I’ve tried a couple different brands when Waykana was out of stock, but they weren’t as good. So glad I was able t get some again. I switched from Coffee to Tea and then switched to Yerba Mate and finally found Guayusa. It’s so much better than the crash I would get from coffee.
