Stash Tea Introduces Guayusa … Energy from Ecuador

Stash Tea, one of the largest specialty tea companies in the USA, announces the release of eight great tasting new loose leaf teas made with a rare, naturally caffeinated herbal tea known as Guayusa. Available exclusively online and at our Portland, Oregon area store.

Guayusa is a stimulating herb native to the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador where it has been part of the Amazonian culture and cultivation for over 2000 years. Traditionally enjoyed by the indigenous families of Ecuador and treasured for its unique balance of caffeine, antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids.

The purchase of Guayusa supports small farmers in Ecuador and it helps the Amazon Rainforest thrive, as Guayusa is shade grown.

Guayusa is naturally caffeinated and has an energizing effect similar to coffee
or Yerba Mate, but unlike coffee or Yerba Mate, Guayusa provides a slow release of caffeine for alertness and energy, without the jitters or sudden caffeine crash.

Guayusa is delicious. It has a naturally smooth taste, is never bitter, and has a rich and earthy aroma and slightly sweet finish. Stash offers a Pure Guayusa loose leaf tea as well as seven signature blends-

-Guayusa and Green Tea
Smooth Guayusa is complemented by green tea in a pleasing blend. Antioxidant rich and rejuvenating.

-Guayusa and Chocolate Tea
Velvety cocoa combines with refreshing Guayusa for a brew that's rich and stimulating.

-Guayusa and Chai Tea
Ecuador meets India in an aromatic blend of smooth Guayusa and spicy Chai.

-Guayusa and Ginseng Oolong Tea
A sweet and mellow blend that is balanced and rejuvenating.

-Guayusa and Yerba Mate
Guayusa and Yerba mate are paired for an invigorating blend that is sure to awaken your senses.

-Guayusa and Black Tea
Yunnan black tea has been paired with stimulating Guayusa to create a wonderful morning blend.

-Guayusa and Rooibos Tea

The Stash Tea Company is a privately-held company headquartered in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. Founded in 1972, Stash Tea originally operated out of an old Portland Victorian style house, supplying loose herbal teas and bulk herbs to natural food stores. Starting in 1975, the company broadened its focus to include bagged teas and then began to sell a full line of traditional, specialty blend and herbal teas directly to fine restaurants and through a mail order catalog to consumers.


Today, Stash Tea is enjoying steady growth and has become one of the largest specialty tea companies in the United States, with products available through foodservice, grocery stores, tea and coffee shops, club stores, mass merchandisers, natural foods stores, mail order and the Internet. Stash Tea is also available in Canada and in several foreign countries.
