Guayaki Yerba Mate loose leaf & Bombilla bundle

Our Purpose

The regeneration of the planet is at the heart of our business model. Every time you purchase Guayakí Yerba Mate, you're creating a positive global impact. We call it Market Driven Regeneration, and it's the driving force behind everything we do.

We incentivize yerba mate producers to protect the remaining rainforests and replant native hardwood trees. Guayakí invests in the communities that grow our yerba mate by providing living wages and fair trade premiums, and helping with social infrastructure projects in remote rainforest communities.

Our Name

The name “Guayakí” originates from the Aché Guayakí: indigenous communities living on ancestral lands in the South American Atlantic rainforest in Southern Paraguay.

Guayakí Yerba Mate works in partnership with the Aché Guayakí communities to grow organic yerba mate, a plant with which the communities have a strong cultural and spiritual connection, for our various retail products.

Our Products

Yerba mate comes from a holly tree native to the South American Atlantic rainforest. Yerba mate leaves are naturally caffeinated, with the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate.

Drinking yerba mate is a common social practice in Argentina, Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

We focus on using regenerative farming and business practices when planting, harvesting, and selling our yerba mate.
