Green Leaf Imports began in the Spring of 2003 with the vision of importing and promoting authentic yerba mate from Paraguay's most superior, quality-conscious producers. We stress the importance that yerba mate should be organic and packaged in a high quality environment.
With the help of you, the consumer, we have been able
to stimulate greater interest in yerba mate production among small-scale farmers in Paraguay. As the demand grows, we hope to develop Fair Trade relations with those farmers so that they will be able to cultivate a diversity of crops, as opposed to relying on one major cash-crop.

As loggers all over Brazil and Paraguay become even more efficient and aggressive clearing forest in order to plant monocultures such as soy, we must do our part to promote sustainability.
