Guarana Seed Powder

Scientific Name: Paullinia cupana Kunth
Family: Sapindaceae (Soapberry Family)

Guarana Seed Powder is derived from the seeds of a climbing vine native to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. For centuries, Indigenous Amazonian communities have valued guarana as a nourishing botanical to promote stamina, focus, and endurance. Naturally rich in caffeine and antioxidant compounds, guarana is widely enjoyed as an energizing addition to teas, smoothies, beverages, and wellness blends.

Plant Description

Guarana is a woody, evergreen vine that thrives in the tropical forests of South America. It produces clusters of bright red fruit that split open when ripe, revealing glossy black seeds partially covered by a white aril, giving the appearance of an “eye.” The seeds are harvested, roasted or dried, and finely ground into a smooth powder that has a naturally bitter, earthy flavor.
