Guayusa Gunshot Blend: A Gunpowder Original (coffee alternative | all natural ingredients | 100% organic)

Although I wasn't a fan of the actual product (I don't like tea). The service was great and I did receive a full refund.

I liked the flavor but I think it is a bit expensive for the amount of tea you get.It is a good blend and I am enjoying it.

Not a bad review for the company, but the product was not very good, in my opinion.

Sooo I originally ordered this blend thinking that this could be a great holiday gift for my sister. Once I received the package, however, I was just too curious about guayusa, the Amazonian super-herb in this blend, that I had to give it a try myself (Had to make sure it was good before gifting it to my sister, right?).Let me say that this Gunshot Blend did NOT disappoint. From the aromatic combination of guayusa, chicory, dandelion, and cacao shells to the steady, focused energy that I got after drinking it, all I can say is that I wish I had discovered this miracle-in-a-bag sooner. Just as the label promised, no crash or jitters. The blend is packed with antioxidants, so it also made me feel really good about what I was putting into my body. A++ to a fantastic, quality product.Guayusa, you have changed my life forever, and I don't see myself brewing coffee (or other caffeinated drinks) anytime soon. I still have time to order a bag for my sister before the holidays, but I'll definitely be getting more for myself soon!

I was completely persuaded by the other reviews on here because they were very positive, but this stuff is horrible. I don't find the smell pleasant, though it isn't as bad as the taste. To me it tastes very astringent, and the taste is no where near any regular coffee or tea. I will say I have only been drinking coffee alternatives since late March, and those have included straight up chicory, blends with chicory by multiple brands, and now this stuff. I admit that the blends took some getting used to at first, and I also figured out that grinding them more finely before brewing helps them taste sweeter/milder. I even tried grinding Gunshot blend more finely, and it made the chicory aspect taste sweeter, but the guayusa always tastes the same. I cannot get used to the taste. The only time I could drink an entire cup was when I added some peppermint syrup from work because I figured the peppermint would overpower the guayusa; it did. I only keep trying to make this work for me because it contains caffeine and had a higher price point than other alternatives I've tried, and I so wish I could acclimate to the taste, but no, it's just not happening. Try it if you're super curious, have the expendable money, and have dulled taste buds. Otherwise, keep looking, and maybe let me know if you find something else that is good because I'm still searching.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I love tea. Really strong tea. Sometimes really strong tea (PG Tips) will make me shaky, which is what you REALLY want when you're applying eyeliner on people...NOT! But I need a strong stimulant when waking up crappy times for work (3-5am), or for dawn patrol for surfing. Gunshot is GoGo Juice without the shakytimes. What is also interesting is that I can have a cup in the late afternoon before running, and still be able to fall asleep around 10-11pm.The proportions for me are far less than stated on the package- I use 4 tbsp for a 34 oz french press- I tried 5 (which they suggest for 12 oz), and it was too bitter, like my soul. The owner of the brick and mortar store sent a nice follow up email- I plan to visit it next time I surf in Venice.

Whoops coffee and green tea as far as the focus and feeling goes. No crash from the buzz. I can't take it straight and I love my coffee black. My favorite way to drink this is as an iced latte. I don't have an espresso machine, so instead I use my FRENCH PRESS:1 part GNPWDR Brew1 part Almond Milk+ a little extra kick of sweetness (maple syrup)I BREW STRONG, as little water to leaf as I can manage- BREW in french press for 2.5min. Press and pour into your glass- MIX in your sweetener while it's still hot: I use natural maple syrup- POUR and MIX with COLD almond milk- ICE and STIRTastes like a latte- kicks like Gunshot. Thumbs up. Thank you.

I've been drinking this blend now for close to a month, without any need or second though of coffee. This after a long love affair with coffee....one that left me too acidic in the stomach, crashing in the afternoons and never getting my fill. I love this GNPWDR stuff. Would like to see the price lowered a bit, but I'm grateful for the product and won't complain! I love the way I feel on this blend - focused, energized and none of the "aggro" feelings that come with drinking coffee. I'm stickin' with this!
