Wow. Take this “highly caffeinated” warning seriously! Tea (even black) never really seemed to give me any boost, neither did coffee. I was pretty amazed when I found maté and noticed it did give me a bit of energy, though I need to drink a lot to get that. After only 2 cups of Jungle Ju Ju, I feel like I should go run a marathon right now! I’ll have to remind myself never to drink more than this (as I usually drink at least 3 cups)… it could probably get quite unpleasant.
As for the taste, I’m having a hard time evaluating the guayusa taste… not that the fruit taste is too strong (it is just perfect, in my opinion, fruity and only slightly sweet), but I’m having difficulty to draw the line between what taste comes from the fruit, and what comes from the guayusa. In any case, I enjoy the whole thing, and guayusa seems to have a distinctive taste, different from maté or tea. Nice!

Wow! I never experience a caffeine boost (though I try) except when I choke down a strong latte in desperation so I’ll have to give this a try.
I have 52Teas Lemolicious Guayusa and have yet to notice an energy boost…but I’ve never noticed an energy boost from any caffeine, so it didn’t surprise me. Haven’t tried the jungle ju ju yet though.
Interesting, I’ll be curious to see if that tea will have a different effect for you! A friend of mine tried it and thought it gave her too much of a boost, though she reacts more “normally” to caffeine than me.
