In the northwest of the Amazon - Ecuador permaculture has always been practiced. Guayusa grows up well protected in small "chakras", gardens laid out in the middle of the jungle. By means of this natural cultivation, the forest is preserved and its symbiotic relationships are maintained or exploited. Our guayusa is pesticide-free, environmentally friendly and maintains raw food quality.
