英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A tree native to the Amazon Rainforest, Ilex guayusa, whose leaves contain caffeine and are brewed like a tea for their stimulative effect.
    — One thing for certain is that every guayusa tree that exists today was planted by a person, and this reciprocal relationship between humans and guayusa stretches back thousands of years. The earliest physical evidence of guayusa use is a bundle of the plant dating back to around A.D. 500, which was found in a shaman's tomb in the Bolivian Andes.
