Their products include loose leaf yerba mate, ready-to-drink beverages, and energy shots, which are sold online and through retail partners. Guayaki stands out by promoting a regenerative movement that aims to restore natural systems, rather than just sustain them. They have built strong partnerships with indigenous communities and engage in grassroots marketing through their ambassador program, community events, and festivals. The goal of Guayaki is to not only provide a beverage but to foster a lifestyle centered around sustainability and cultural respect.
