Sustainably Sourced, Deeply Rooted: How Teko Yerba Mate Supports People and Planet

When you sip a cup of yerba mate, you’re not just enjoying a delicious drink — you’re connecting to a centuries-old tradition that’s deeply rooted in culture, community, and the land. At Teko Yerba Mate, we believe that honoring this tradition also means protecting the people and environment that make it possible.

That’s why sustainability and ethical sourcing are at the heart of everything we do.

✅ Partnering with Indigenous Farmers
Teko works directly with indigenous communities in Paraguay who have been cultivating yerba mate for generations. By supporting local farmers, we help preserve traditional farming practices and ensure that the benefits of yerba mate go back to the people who know it best.

✅ Supporting Sustainable Agriculture
Our farmers use sustainable, organic methods that promote soil health, biodiversity, and long-term ecological balance. This helps protect the forests and lands where yerba mate grows — so future generations can continue to enjoy it.

✅ Reforestation and Land Stewardship
Through partnerships and initiatives, we invest in reforestation projects that restore native plant species and combat deforestation in Paraguay’s critical ecosystems.

✅ Fair Trade and Community Impact
We are committed to fair compensation and ethical working conditions, helping to strengthen rural economies and empower smallholder farmers.

When you choose Teko Yerba Mate, you’re not just choosing a healthy drink — you’re voting for a better world. Ethical sourcing ensures that every sip supports:

• 🌿 The environment → Healthier ecosystems, less deforestation

• 👥 Communities → Fair wages, cultural preservation, rural empowerment

• 💚 Your health → Clean, pesticide-free, high-quality yerba mate

It’s a win for you, for the people who grow it, and for the planet.

At Teko, we believe in Tekové Porã — the “good life” — and that includes taking care of the earth and the communities we rely on. Every time you enjoy Teko Yerba Mate, you’re joining us in making a meaningful difference. Sip sustainably. Spread joy. Share connection.
