Who we are

Oñoirũ means “companions”

We are the Asociación de Agricultura Agroecológica del Paraguay Oñoirũ, a farmers’ association born in Edelira, Itapúa, in 2001. Our members grow yerba mate on their own family farms in Edelira, Natalio, Yatytay and nearby communities, without agrochemicals and alongside the native forest.

The leaf is processed and packed at our own plant in Edelira, so every batch is traceable from the farm to the package. It was the first Paraguayan yerba mate produced under the associative model of agroecological family farming.

How we make it

Hand harvest of yerba mate Yerba mate drying Close-up of a yerba mate leaf

Under native forest

Yerba trees grow in the shade of the native forest, with no agrochemicals.

Waning moon harvest

Hand-picked following ancestral Guaraní knowledge, to protect the plant.

Sapecado & drying

The leaf is flash-heated and dried in the traditional way, which gives its light smoky note.

Natural ageing

Up to two years of natural ageing before milling and packing at our plant.
