About the brand
Guarani is Paraguayan yerba mate grown in the Itapúa department, on the border with Argentina.
Heritage
The climate there is ideal for growing yerba mate holly, and for years the plantations of the biggest producers have thrived in the region. One of them is the legendary company EBSA.
It is the same company long known for the world-renowned Selecta brand that stands behind Guarani. EBSA's nearly seven decades of work have been marked by constant learning, research and pioneering improvements. Guarani, designed especially for the European market, is one of its newest fruits.
Taste
A long tradition and vast experience, combined with an openness to all that is new and innovative, proved the key to remarkable success. Those who have tried Guarani appreciate the depth of the brew and its complex, noble bitterness.
Alongside classic yerba mate of the elaborada type, you will find flavoured variants with fruit and herbal additions. In them Guarani shows its many faces. Citrus brings a fresh note, aromatic katuava adds an ethereal depth, and the bestselling version with guarana turns yerba mate into a true elixir of energy. You have to try it!

Why choose Guarani?
The highest quality
Guarani is made only from carefully selected, top-quality dried leaf. It is processed in line with age-old rules, overseen by true masters of the mate craft.
A wealth of flavour
Whether you choose classic elaborada or one of the flavoured variants, Guarani promises a rich taste experience with layers of depth in every cup.
How is Guarani made?
Harvest
Yerba mate holly leaves are gathered in spring. Plantation workers cut whole branches by hand. The harvest is packed into special sacks and taken straight to the hall where it will be processed.
Drying
This happens in two stages. First, for about 20 seconds, the leaves are held over hot flames (known as sapecado). Only then comes the traditional drying over a fire pit, known as secado.
Milling and ageing
The dried leaves are broken down by machine. They then go into jute sacks, where they age for about six months. After that time they are milled once more.
Packing
The dried yerba mate is ready for packing. For blends with herbs or fruit, the right additions are mixed in before packing. And that is how Guarani is made!
