1. Introduction: A journey with obstacles
It has been a long, emotional and at times nerve-racking journey. What began as an ambitious project to make better use of the diversity of Ecuadorian chakra forest gardens ended in one of the most successful preorders in our history—and one of our longest waits at customs.
But today we can finally say: They’re here. All 7 new GUYA products have arrived at our warehouse and are now available in the shop. In this article, we introduce the new highlights in detail and briefly look back at the challenges we had to overcome.
2. Limitless Drops: energy without limits
Our standout product for performance and focus is the new Limitless Drops. We wanted to make the energy of guayusa as accessible and efficient as possible.
The result is a water-soluble, full-spectrum ultrasound extract made from 100% guayusa. This advanced process extracts not only caffeine, but also the full range of antioxidants, L-theanine and theobromine from the leaves.
- Fast-acting: Takes effect much faster than conventional tea.
- Long-lasting focus: Laser focus without the typical coffee crash.
- Concentrated: A small 30 ml bottle provides an incredible 50 servings.
Just add a few drops to water or a smoothie, or place them directly under the tongue—for energy at the touch of a button.
3. Jungle Harvest: the rainforest snack revolution
With Jungle Harvest, we’re entering entirely new territory. We’re bringing treasures from Ecuador’s chakras to you as healthy, sustainable snacks. They’re not only tasty, but also a strong statement for biodiversity and fair trade.
Meet the 4 new snacks:
- Macambo (white cacao): Cacao’s forgotten sibling. Crunchy, rich and buttery, and full of plant protein.
- Chewy Bananas: No hard chips here! Made from 100% Orito baby bananas, gently dried, soft and naturally caramelised.
- Cacao nibs with pineapple panela jam: Crunchy cacao nibs coated in a fruity pineapple-panela glaze. A sweet surprise.
- Plain cacao nibs: For purists. 100% pure, intense cacao flavour with no additives.
4. Tea highlights: CHAI returns & guanábana
Of course, we haven’t forgotten our roots. There are two great new additions to our tea range:
CHAI returns: You asked for it, so we brought it back. GUYA CHAI combines caffeine-rich guayusa with ishpingo cinnamon leaf, ginger and cardamom from the Amazon. Bold, spicy and energising.
Guanábana leaves (soursop/graviola): An intriguing ingredient with health-related properties, rich in acetogenins and antioxidants. A mild, soothing and balancing tea made from 100% guanábana leaves.
5. The journey here: Why it took so long
If you follow our newsletter, you know the journey for these products was a rocky one. What we expected to take 1–2 weeks for customs clearance at the Port of Hamburg turned into almost two months.
The reason was two separate customs inspections. First, the entire shared container was selected for a narcotics inspection. Once that was complete, our GUYA pallets were inspected separately, with more than 70 packages checked. Unfortunately, inspections like these are currently common for imports from Ecuador, as the authorities scrutinize them closely because of the general security situation.
We communicated these delays openly throughout (see our detailed video update as well) and thank all our preorder customers for their incredible patience.
6. Conclusion: Now available in the shop
The wait is over. Quality checks at our warehouse are complete, and all preorders are on their way to you.
For everyone else: Let the shopping begin! All 7 new products are now available in our shop. Discover the diversity of the Amazon rainforest and, with every purchase, support regenerative supply chains and Kichwa farmers in Ecuador.
