Update Information for This Brand

Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
Finally, a "good for you" energy drink that tastes great! Revered for centuries by South Americans as the "drink of the Gods" and consumed to ensure health, vitality, and longevity, yerba mate triumphs as nature's most balanced stimulant. The leaves of the rainforest mate tree contain 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, potent antioxidants and natural caffeine providing a nourishing boost of clean energy. Each new Guayaki Yerba Mate Organic Energy Drink contains caffeine comparable to coffee; however, the stimulation is balanced by mate's natural nutritional content. As a result, drinkers feel a sustained energy and clarity of mind. Yerba mate is known to aid digestion and is used as a supportive treatment in weight-loss programs. In honor of the Guayakí people, native to the mate forest, we bring you Guayakí Yerba Mate: organic, fairly traded, and sustainable. Drink it with heart and feel the power within!

Enlighten Mint

Product Type:Tea: Alternative; Container: 16 oz Can
BevNET Review: With their Lemon Elation variety, which won BevNET’s Best of 2009 Awards for Best New Tea and Best Packaging Design, Guayaki has a tough act to follow. Fortunately, what they'’ve created with their Enlighten Mint flavor is spot on, blending just the right amounts of mate, peppermint, sugar, and honey. It’s an extremely easy product to drink, with a smooth flavor that’s clean from start to finish. And of course, this being mate, it has 150 mg of natural caffeine per can but is still low in calories (112 per can). Packaging is a nice continuation of what they developed for their Lemon Elation product, with small visual differentiators (a green accent color and a female face) made to their vibrant looking can design. It somehow manages to feel hip and authentic, giving it a leg up on Guayaki’s bottled products. USDA Organic and Fair Trade certifications are prominently displayed, which certainly bolsters this product'’s premium vibe. Overall, a really well executed product from Guayaki.

Revel Berry

Product Type:Tea: Alternative; Container: 16 oz Can
BevNET Review: The Revel Berry flavor of Guayaki’'s canned yerba mate line is a pleasant mixture of USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified ingredients including yerba mate, sugar, hibiscus, yumberry juice, and organic flavors. The product’'s flavor is like an exotic twist on raspberry iced tea, with the biggest difference coming from the earthy flavor of the yerba mate. It'’s smooth and clean, lacking the grassy flavor that you get from steeping your own cup of mate. Like the other canned offerings from Guayaki, this variety has 150 mg of natural caffeine per can, making it a pretty potent pick-me-up as well. The can features the same great format as Guayaki'’s other two canned varieties. In this case, the red accent color and illustration of a person are effective in terms of both catching the eye and helping the product achieve its authentic look. We’'re definitely fans of what they’'ve done. Overall, a really well executed product that manages to be both mainstream and true to Guayaki’'s roots.
