Runa is pleased to offer you premium quality guayusa tea, grown by indigenous farming families in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Guayusa (pronounced "why-you-sa") is a rich and energizing tea that has been consumed by indigenous Amazonian communities for thousands of years. We are selling loose leaf guayusa and our unique blends in 40g and 100g pouches.

What we believe: 

Plants and teas have always served as central points of relationship between people, cultures, and lived environments. We believe that respectful sharing of goods, traditions, and knowledge, is a natural and powerful way to grow sustainably as a global community.

 

“What we need is a market for our goods, and friends who want to hear our story.”

Kichwa elder Don Vincente Mamallacta
