HOW DOES GUAYAKI PRESERVE FOREST AND SUPPORT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE?
With a passion for mate, Guayaki partners with small farmers and indigenous communities to source mate from the sub-tropical forests of South America. Like high quality coffee, high quality mate is shade-grown; delivering more nutritional value and a smooth, rich flavor. Forest grown mate is environmentally sustainable in the long term and provides for more income per acre than cattle or agricultural products such as corn, soy or wheat. From the simple love of a beverage, Guayaki drinkers have become a driving force for conservation and community development by paying a fair trade price for rainforest-grown mate.
