Our Roots

From the Heart
of Ecuador

Deep in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador, Indigenous Kichwa communities have cultivated Guayusa for over 2,000 years. This sacred leaf fuelled hunters before dawn, guided ceremonies, and nourished generations.

At Upina, we partner directly with these families — ensuring fair prices, preserved traditions, and continued stewardship of the land that gives life to this extraordinary plant.
