Guayaki
The uplifting and nourishing choice of health-minded individuals, yerba mate boasts 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids and abundant antioxidants. Yerba mate is also known for its adaptogen-like qualities, which include reducing the effects of occasional stress. Other benefits include: aiding in weight loss, high in antioxidants (more than green tea), stimulating focus and clarity, improving physical energy, and aiding in elimination. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world, yerba mate, with naturally occurring caffeine, triumphs as the most balanced, delivering both energy and nutrition. With Guayaki Yerba Mate you feel Vitality, Clarity, and Well-Being.
Guayaki’s Market Driven Restoration Business model links our customer’s purchases to our partner farming communities in the South American Rainforests. Guayaki’s partners sustainably harvest organic yerba mate from rainforest grown cultivations and reforestation projects, generating a renewable income stream, which enables these communities to improve their lives and restore their lands.
Be sure to stop by Guayaki’s van outside the event!
