Guayakí imports an energizing rainforest beverage called yerba mate including ready-to drink beverages, loose mate and tea bags. Through the sale of its products, Guayakí sustains and restores 20,000 acres of Interior Atlantic Rainforest, supports various cooperatives and Indigenous communities and demonstrates that money does grow on trees.
What is the change we seek?
Guayakí works directly with growers to deliver unique and beneficial products that enhance personal health and well being. Our goal is to create economic models that drive reforestation while employing a living wage.
