Origins
Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a climbing plant with large leaves and beautiful flowers that is found mainly in the Brazilian Amazon. The plant is best known for its fruits, which are extremely similar to coffee beans. Guarana fruit is hand picked during the dry season – the seeds are first roasted before removing the skins. Next the seeds are placed into a large wooden mortar and ground into a fine powder. Then the powder is mixed with water, dried in the sun and smoked to give the guarana its unique flavour.
Quantity and Dosage
