What this category lists

The category holds a single listing, guarana powder (Paullinia cupana). The product photo shows a kraft-paper pouch with a Herborist label that reads "Guarana", the Latin name and the form tag "[powder]", next to a heap of brown powder. The supplier’s listing for the same article number adds two details that the label does not give: the powder is made from the seed, and the country of origin is Brazil.

About Paullinia cupana

Paullinia cupana Kunth is an accepted species of the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. Kunth described it in 1821 in Nova Genera et Species Plantarum. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP), compiled by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, records it as native to northern Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela. Brazilian flora records describe it as a shrub or woody climber of gallery forest and terra firme forest. Paullinia sorbilis T.Mart. is one of its synonyms, and in Portuguese the plant is called guaraná.

The pouch label spells the genus "Paulinnia". The accepted spelling is Paullinia, with a double l, which is the one used on this page.

Storing your botanicals

Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.

Before using a plant

Keep plants out of the reach of children and pets.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist first: many plants interact with medicines.
Stop immediately if you have an allergic reaction or feel unwell.
The information on this page describes the product; it does not replace medical advice.
