Headquartered in Sebastopol, California with an additional office in Venice, California, Guayakí operates approximately 30 facilities in the United States and Canada, including offices, warehouses, and storage units. Guayakí owns and operates a green leaf yerba mate processing facility in Turvo, Brazil and office workspace in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Asunción, Paraguay.

The Guayakí Yerba Mate brand offers loose leaf yerba mate as well as ready-to-drink yerba mate beverages in bottles (five flavors called tereré) and cans (12 flavors, including sparkling and low-calorie). The majority of Guayakí’s revenue comes from sales of its ready-to-drink beverages in cans. Guayakí sources yerba mate and sugar, its two primary ingredients, from South America.

Nearly all of Guayakí’s packaging is manufactured in the United States, and other ingredients (e.g. juices, flavors, herbs, etc.) are sourced nationally and globally. All of Guayakí’s co-manufacturing partners are in California, where they bottle or package Guayakí’s products. Guayakí self-distributes its products and works with 3rd party distributors, delivering to markets in the United States, Canada, and Chile.
