Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is now the classic pick-me-up from the Amazon region. Guarana powder comes from the ground seeds of the guarana bush, which are collected wild by indigenous people and riverside residents. Guarana has the stimulating effect of coffee. However, unlike the caffeine in coffee, the caffeine in guarana is only released gradually; the effect therefore lasts four to six hours. The different effects can be attributed to the fact that the caffeine in the guarana seeds is bound to tannins, which must first be broken down before the caffeine is released and can take effect.
