Ginger from Ecuador
Amazonian ginger
Our ginger comes from small gardens and chakras belonging to Indigenous Kichwa people in Ecuador.
This Amazonian ginger is smaller but more intense in flavour and aroma than the variety known from Asia. It is both sweeter and spicier.
Health properties
Effects of ginger
Spicy warmth from ginger root
AMAZONIAN GINGER is pure ginger for an aromatic infusion. Its heat creates a warm, lively sensation in the mouth. Unlike Guayusa, pure ginger tea is not a caffeinated pick-me-up – ideal when you’re looking mainly for spice and enjoyment.
The plant compounds behind the flavour
Gingerols and related pungent compounds are characteristic of ginger. Different ginger preparations are studied in research. In everyday use, the root is best known as an intensely flavoured ingredient: use a little for a gentler taste or brew it more strongly for a pronounced spicy kick.
Enjoy it on its own or make your own blend
A warm ginger infusion goes well with a break; chilled, it works in homemade refreshing drinks. Combine it with orange or lemongrass. For a caffeinated version, add Guayusa separately so you can adjust the spice and caffeine independently.
Recipes and ideas
Preparation
- 1. Measure

Our Amazonian Ginger consists of pure, dried pieces of ginger from the Amazon rainforest. This ginger is smaller, sweeter and hotter than the Asian ginger known in Europe.
It is sustainably grown in the permaculture forest gardens of the Kichwa indigenous people in Ecuador and supports the preservation of the biodiversity of the rainforest.
Ideal for your own tea blends and for cooking - a unique taste from the heart of the Amazon.
GUYA now also offers this ingredient as a single product, without Guayusa to support the farmers in Ecuador by sourcing a wider range of their products and to give you the opportunity to enjoy high-quality ingredients.
GUYA’s philosophy is to promote biodiversity. Join us in this effort and explore the flavours of the Amazon rainforest!
You can be sure that we’re more than just resellers of ingredients. On our YouTube channel you’ll find short documentaries and vlogs featuring our farmers in Ecuador. GUYA founder Sebastian gives you a transparent look at how we work together and how your Guayusa is produced.
NOTE: The best-before date of this product is: 30.01.27. A best-before date is not a use-by date: it describes the period for which the full quality of an unopened, correctly stored pack must be guaranteed by law. The light-, moisture- and odour-protecting packaging supports the preservation of aroma, nutrients and quality. That is why our products keep the same quality for at least two years beyond the best-before date. In Germany, however, we may initially only state two years. Selling beyond that is legally permitted as long as the quality is guaranteed.

Ausgezeichneter fruchtig-süßer Geschmack. Gut dosierbar. Ich nehme gerne 4 TL pro Kanne bzw 1-2 TL pro Tasse.
Schmeckt auch gut mit Guya Orangen oder als Zusatz in die Pure/Dark Sorten.
Mit dem Guya Ingwer erspare ich mir auch die Zubereitung von frischem Ingwer.An Schärfe fehlt es dem getrockneten Ingwer keinesfalls.

Auch hier bin ich sehr überrascht über diese Qualität. Schön fruchtig und wunderbar scharf. Gut mit anderen Teesorten zu mischen und man kann richtig gut kombinieren. Auch hierfür denke Sebastian
