After meeting Indigenous producers in several journeys to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest, Demetrio Santander and Juan David Gomez found a common thought with these communities; sharing with the world a healthier life filled with energy by introducing this ancestral leaf – Guayusa.
Guayusa is a unique naturally caffeinated leaf from the Amazon jungle. Combined with antioxidants, chlorogenic acids and Theobromine, it is nature's ultimate energy drink.
Every Waykana product brings a positive impact not only in the life of the consumer but also in the life of the native Amazonian farmers who cultivate the Guayusa plant.
For centuries, the Kichwa Indigenous people in the Amazon have used Guayusa as a source of natural energy and a way to connect with the Pachamama (mother earth) and their community.
A ‘pilche’ cup filled with Guayusa tea keeps them sharp for hunting during the day, and vigilant during night watches.
