At Guayakí, we believe Yerba Mate culture is an invitation to life. Legend has it that a magical tree grows in the South American rainforest with the powers to unite & energize. Yerba mate comes from the naturally caffeinated leaves of a native species of holly tree found deep in the South American Atlantic rainforest. Yerba mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate all in a single drink. If that's not magic, we don't know what is.
Guayakí Yerba Mate develops long-term partnerships with indigenous peoples and small farmers in Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil to harvest organic yerba mate at fair trade prices. Guayakí drives real change, because the regeneration of people and planet is integrated into our business model. Every time you purchase Guayakí, you're creating a positive global impact. TOGETHER, we are regenerating ecosystems and creating vibrant communities, while changing the way business is done.
