What is Guarana?

Guarana, derived from the seeds of the plant Paullinia cupana Kunth, is a natural source of vitality prized for its energizing properties. In Brazil, Guarana is considered an essential everyday dietary supplement. Native to the Amazon basin and cultivated also in the State of Bahia, it enjoys an ideal tropical climate.

This climbing vine from the Sapindaceae family produces magnificent clusters of red fruit whose seeds are harvested to create Guarana powder. Indigenous populations have used it for centuries as a natural stimulant. It is also the star ingredient of Brazil's famous national drink.

Good to know: In Brazil, the active compound in Guarana is historically called "guaranine", but chemically the molecule is identical to caffeine. In Europe, regulatory bodies use the term caffeine. Guarana is valued as a traditional alternative to coffee, offering a gradual release of energy.

Legend & History: The Eye of the Forest

The legend of guarana was born in the mystical lands of northern Brazil. It tells the story of a young Indian boy ("Curumim") loved by all, slain by Jurupari in the form of a serpent. The god Tupã, moved by the tribe's grief, ordered that the child's eyes be planted in the earth.

Watered with tears for four moons, these eyes gave birth to the "plant of life", guarana. This is why the ripe fruit, with its red skin opening over white flesh and a black seed, strangely resembles a human eye. For the Sateré-Mawé tribe, it is a sacred symbol of vitality and progress.

Cultivation & Processing: From seed to powder

Guarana from Maués benefits from a recognized Geographical Indication (GI) in Brazil. For the native Sateré-Mawé, it embodies "the source of wisdom". Discover the traditional manufacturing process:

1. Sowing & Planting

Cultivation in rich, well-drained soils of the Amazon or Bahia.

2. Maintenance & Growth

Climbing vine requiring optimal sunlight exposure and adequate irrigation.

3. Flowering & Pollination

Small white flowers naturally pollinated by local bees.

4. Hand Harvesting

Hand-picked when the fruit splits open revealing the black seed (the eye of the forest).

5. Drying & Roasting

Seed extraction, sun drying, and light roasting to unlock earthy aromatic notes.

6. Grinding into Fine Powder

Fine milling preserving natural caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline.

Color & Taste: The powder ranges from light brown (early harvest) to dark brown (full maturity). Its scent is earthy and herbal, with a taste characterized by forest floor notes and a typical bitterness, showing its richness in tannins and caffeine.

Scientific Support — Bahia & Embrapa

Guarana plantations in Bahia benefit from rigorous agronomic oversight. Around 18,000 seeds of a selected variety are cultivated there to optimize harvest quality, with guidance from Embrapa (Brazil's public agricultural research institute). It is in this exact region, 90 km from Ilhéus, that Arnaud Sion trained in plantations to select guarana for Le Comptoir de Toamasina.

Caffeine & EFSA Recommendations

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluated daily caffeine intake safety thresholds:

Healthy Adults

Up to 400 mg per day (approx. 5.7 mg/kg of body weight) with no safety concerns.

Single Dose

Up to 200 mg in one intake (ideal before a workout session).

Pregnant / Breastfeeding Women

Limit to 200 mg per day from all caffeine sources combined.

Children & Adolescents

The maximum recommended dose is 3 mg per kg of body weight daily.

Transparency & Weight Loss

Although guarana is often associated with diets, EFSA does not authorize health claims stating that guarana causes weight loss. No single clinical study proves that it induces weight loss on its own. For nutritional planning, consult a healthcare professional.

How to consume Guarana? Dosages & Recipes

Recommended Dosage: One teaspoon of powder (about 4g) daily is sufficient to enjoy its properties without excess.

Preparation Tip: Best consumed in the morning at breakfast. Mix the powder into fruit juice, a smoothie, yogurt, or water. Avoid taking late in the day to protect your sleep quality.
