What Is Tereré?
If you’ve ever visited Paraguay, you’ve seen it: people gathered under trees, passing around a guampa with ice-cold yerba mate. That’s tereré—Paraguay’s national drink and a core part of its identity.
Unlike hot yerba mate, tereré is prepared cold, often infused with local medicinal herbs known as pohã ñana. It’s refreshing, energizing, and deeply social—shared among friends, family, and even coworkers.
💬 More Than a Drink: A Daily Ritual
In Paraguay, tereré is:
-
A symbol of connection – One guampa, one bombilla, passed between many hands.
-
A natural refreshment – Perfect for the country’s hot, humid climate.
-
A wellness practice – With herbs that aid digestion, boost immunity, or simply cool the body.
It’s not unusual to see people carrying their termo (thermos) and guampa everywhere—from bus stops to boardrooms.
🌱 Teko: Tereré, Reinvented
At Teko, tereré isn’t just our inspiration—it’s our origin story.
We were raised on this tradition. It's part of our DNA. But we wanted to make it easier, faster, and more portable—without losing what made it special.
That’s why every Teko stick is:
-
Made with real Paraguayan yerba mate
-
Flavored with South American fruits
-
Inspired by tereré’s refreshing spirit, minus the thermos
It’s tereré—redesigned for modern life.
💡 Why It Still Matters Today
Whether you're on the soccer field, in the office, or working late on your goals, the tereré spirit lives on in every Teko pouch. It’s not just a drink—it’s a way to stay grounded, energized, and connected.
