Teawolf announced that it is the first supplier of guayusa extracts in the United States.

When Tyler Gage, co-founder and co-chief executive officer of Runa LLC, left California for South America, he was not planning to build a beverage company.

Runa Tea added two unsweetened flavors to its line of guayusa teas: Lime and Guava.
