Guayakí Yerba Mate beverage

Guayakí Yerba Mate is a pioneering organic beverage brand that popularized yerba mate—a traditional South American infusion—in the North American market. Founded in CA, USA, the brand was built on a 'Market Driven Restoration' business model, aimed at protecting and restoring South American rainforests through sustainable harvesting practices. The beverage is known for its natural caffeine content and clean energy properties.

The product's manufacturing and supply chain are split; while the raw yerba mate leaves are sourced through fair-trade partnerships in South American countries like Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, the final canning, carbonation, and distribution processes primarily take place in North America and other regional facilities to serve global markets. The company remains an independent leader in the organic tea category, maintaining its commitment to environmental stewardship and social justice.
