How flavors unfold, from initial impression to the finish
How Arnaud Sion discovered guarana
The year 2015 marked a decisive turning point in my life. At the time, I had already built a reputation as an expert in Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, a spice that had captured my senses. But it was in Brazil, in 2015, that I had an encounter that would redefine my trajectory.
I landed in Bahia, a Brazilian state known for its lush biodiversity. 90 km from the city of Ilhéus, I discovered a guarana plantation, an energizing and mysterious berry. Local farmers, with their ancestral knowledge, introduced me to the secrets of this crop: recognizing seed quality and understanding the plant's cycle.
This experience broadened my vision of fair trade. I saw in these small red seeds an opportunity to build deep connections with local communities. In November 2019, after several years of learning, I established a direct partnership with a guarana plantation. Le Comptoir de Toamasina thus became the bridge between the finest Madagascar vanilla and premium Brazilian guarana.
What is guarana and what does it taste like?
Guarana is the fruit of the guaranazeiro. Its benefits are mainly attributed to its high content of three xanthines: caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. These substances are natural stimulants that reduce fatigue and increase concentration in a more sustained manner than coffee.
Guarana seeds, once ripe, reveal a harsh, robust flavor reminiscent of the rich soil from which they originate. The first impression is often surprising: the taste evokes a blend of earthy notes with a touch of bitterness that gradually softens, giving way to a light refreshing acidity.
In Brazil, it is often processed into a very popular sweet carbonated drink, but at Le Comptoir de Toamasina, we celebrate it in its purest form.
| Guarana Form | Target Moisture | Caffeine Content | Main Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guarana Powder | < 5 % | 5 % to 7 % | Superfood (smoothies, morning energy) |
| Industrial Seeds (Sodas) | 5 % to 7 % (Crack point) | ~ 4 % | Soft drinks, energy syrups |
| Stick Guarana (Traditional) | 8 % to 12 % | 4 % to 5 % | Traditionally grated in water |
| Coffee (For comparison) | - | 1 % to 2 % | Hot beverage |
How is guarana grown and processed?
Guarana fruits stand out for their predominantly red color with orange nuances. At full maturity, the capsule partially opens, revealing a black seed wrapped in a white aril (giving it an "eye" appearance). Harvest takes place at this exact stage to prevent the seeds from falling.
Guarana is a perennial climbing shrub. The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) has developed selected high-productivity cultivars resistant to anthracnose, providing a stable yield of 400g to 1.5 kg of seeds per plant.
After harvesting, the fruit is depulped, washed, then slowly roasted in terracotta or metal containers over low heat. This gentle, controlled roasting guarantees the perfect moisture level (the famous "crack point") and preserves the integrity of natural caffeine.
