Guayaki
Guayakà was founded on California’s Central Coast in 1996 by two university friends, Alex Pryor and David Karr. Early on in their venture, they were joined by three other partners: don Miguel, Steven Karr, and Chris Mann, altogether forming the five Semillas that drove the company’s vision of using yerba mate to regenerate ecosystems and create vibrant communities. Remaining a privately held company to this day, Guayakà serves yerba mate culture and connects with communities worldwide.
