$8.88
Eleven plants for quiet awakening. Guayusa that the Kichwa drink before dawn, Guarana, Andean Maca, Matcha — a long breath that holds for hours, without the peak and crash of coffee.
Not all energies are equal. The Guayusa the Kichwa drink in a circle before dawn, the Guarana, the Maca of the Andes, the Green tea give a long breath — not the jolt that drops you.
The Guayusa, which the Kichwa call their "night watchman," holds without peak or fall. Amazonian Guarana releases its strength over hours, where coffee lets go in an hour and a half. The Maca of the Andes feeds the drive from below, like an ember.

Progressive weaning works better:
First: weeks 1-2, keep one coffee in the morning and add Guayusa in the afternoon. Feel the difference in peak.
Second: weeks 3-4, replace coffee with Guayusa. If lacking, add 1g of Maca in matcha.
Third: week 5+, observe. Many regain better sleep and more stable energy, and gradually do without coffee.
