Runa Cinnamon-Lemongrass Guayusa Tea
A Swaggable review
I received this as a sample to review from Swaggable
I really liked this tea, the lemongrass flavors in it balanced well with the cinnmon flaors. There wasn't one flavor over the other, they worked surprisingly well together. And I felt no need for any type of sweeteners for this tea.
I fell that this tea lives up to it's description:
Guayusa (gwhy-you-sa) is a Amazonian leaf that has been brewed for thousands of years by indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Drinking guayusa is essential to what makes them "Runa"--fully alive.
Guayusa tea offers a clean source of energy by balancing natural caffeine with twice the antioxidants of green tea and a smooth, naturally sweet taste.
This did have a smooth taste to it, there was no huge over bearing taste one way or another which I really liked. Since this was a caffeinated tea I had this around lunch time ( no P.M. buzz for me!) and it did give me a slight kick, I liked that it wasn't so much that there was a huge crash later, just a soft wave down! haha I do wish that they made a decaffeinated tea so that I could drink it all the time. But since I have a baby that is still breastfed I can't, it would have him buzzing, which is never good! Guayusa tea offers a clean source of energy by balancing natural caffeine with twice the antioxidants of green tea and a smooth, naturally sweet taste.
This gets two thumbs up!
