Being sustainable is prime

At Athlete’s Brew, we care about our impact on the environment. We understand that our planet is at the brink of destruction. That’s why we will do EVERYTHING we can to reduce our environmental impact. We’re committed improving how environmentally responsible we are, from ensuring the suppliers we are working with are as eco-friendly, to minimising and eliminating our use of plastic . Here are some things we do to reduce our environmental impact as a small business.

The Product we choose – Guayusa

We know that Guayusa is good for our body in so many ways (click here if you have missed out all the benefits of Guayusa), but that’s not the only reason we keep emphasizing that you should replace coffee with Guayusa. Compared with Guayusa, the way coffee is grown is really bad for the environment. Most coffee grows in open farms, which means there is no natural vegetation; and no support for local wildlife. As for Guayusa, it is grown in a ‘Chakra’ Agroforestry system, a traditional system that means it grows in the shade of the rainforest and promotes reforestation of the Amazon. If you want to join us in our mission to help save our planet, you should stop drinking coffee NOW. Not only does Guayusa benefit our body, it also helps protect and sustain our ecosystem. If you simply want to benefit from the energy boost of Guayusa in a healthy way without the cost of the environment, then Guayusa is your best choice. It is time to act, click here if you are ready to be part of the Guayusa community.

The Suppliers we work with

At Athlete’s Brew, we are very careful about every single element we are using, from the teabags to the labels. We strive to minimize the use of plastic as much as possible and replace it with packaging made from sustainable sources. That’s why we are serious about choosing the right suppliers that have the same motives as ours. It is important for us to build relationships only with companies who also promote environmental awareness.

Here are some major suppliers we work with:

• Waykana

We are transitioning our supplier of Guayusa to Waykana (as of 2026). We love the taste of their high quality Guayusa, and importantly their mission includes protecting the biodiversity of the Ecuadorian Amazon, and promoting regenerative, sustainable agroforestry farming practices.

• The Vacuum Pouch Company

The Vacuum Pouch Company is the UK based supplier of our biodegradable vacuum bags. We use their biodegradable bags for our Guayusa teabags and loose-leaf. The one we are using is made of kraft paper, cellulose film and starch film. Their biodegradable are tested and certified as fully compostable under the right conditions, where they will break down into biomass, carbon dioxide (CO²) and water. This makes them ideal for packing our Guayusa.

• Reginal Dames

Reginal Dames is the UK based teabag manufacturer and provider of the biodegradable soilon teabags

With the right selection of our suppliers and product, we are able to provide the best quality product with minimal cost to the environment.

While we are doing our part, you should also be environmentally responsible as a consumer – one of the best you can do is to buy things that you know it comes from a sustainable source.
