Waykana is the FIRST producer of Green Guayusa leaf and its largest bulk supplier in the world. We work with small-scale Kichwa growers in the Amazon rainforest to produce Guayusa-an organic leaf that offers healthy caffeine and antioxidants.

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.

Everyday, before sunrise, families wake up and gather around a fire to hold the sacred Guayusa ceremony. They share about their dreams and plan their day as a clay pot brews an infusion of fresh Guayusa leaves.
Kichwa legend has it that the jaguar energy comes through brewed Guayusa leaves. Kichwa legend has it that the jaguar energy comes through brewed Guayusa to protect them from felines, snakes and other wild animals.

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.

We are dedicated to the B2B ingredient market and offer a premium raw material selection and investment in quality from the farm to the final product. Our mission: Boost the world with natural and balanced energy from the Amazon.

Guayusa is increasingly in demand all over the world. Its properties make it ideal for a range of applications, and the use of Guayusa as an ingredient is on the rise.

Native to the Ecuadorian Amazon, Guayusa is a super leaf rich in caffeine and antioxidants that offers a healthy alternative to traditional sources of caffeine. Its unique biological makeup of caffeine and polyphenols allows the brewed guayusa leaf to provide sustained energy, mental clarity, and focus without causing jitters or crash. Used as a key ingredient, Guayusa offers as much caffeine as coffee and double the antioxidants of green tea per serving omitting the bitter after-taste associated with some tea leaves.
