Health properties
ORANGE-MINT combines Guayusa with orange, mint and liquorice. Around half of the blend is Guayusa. Its natural caffeine can make you feel more alert and support your attention, while the mint leaves a fresh sensation in your mouth.
The citrus note comes from orange, while liquorice brings a spiced sweetness. Guayusa adds its characteristic leaf flavour and polyphenols. The ingredients infuse at different rates, so even a small change in preparation can change the character of your cup.
This variety is delicious hot to start the day or cold as a refreshing tea. Start with a steeping time of about ten minutes: with ORANGE-MINT, the orange peel can turn bitter if steeped for too long. The fresh mint does not cancel out caffeine’s effects – choose the amount and time of day that suit you.

This Guayusa blend is refreshingly energising. You may have tried Guayusa tea with mint before, but Guayusa tea with orange and mint makes for a unique combination!
Guayusa ORANGE-MINT is a medium-strength blend with around 50% Guayusa. Unlike our other blends, Guayusa tea with orange and mint can turn bitter if steeped for too long. This is due to the orange peel.
We therefore recommend a steeping time of around 10 minutes. We use no artificial or natural flavourings. The intense aroma and taste come 100% from real ingredients.
Experiment with the steeping time. You’ll notice that the liquorice note, like the orange peel and mint, varies in intensity depending on how long you steep it!
That’s why we use two types of mint. Can you taste them?
Looking for a relaxed, alert feeling? Guayusa with orange and mint is excellent as a cold brew on hot summer days! Its medium Guayusa content also means that even people who are very sensitive to caffeine may be able to drink this blend in the afternoon.
