I started Cafe Mate
in the Spring of 2000 blending up herbs and spices in my apartment in Grand Rapids Michigan.
I wanted a new approach to tea and I saw the oppurtunity to provide health while promoting
sustainability, with an ethical creative business.
Cafe Mate has grown along this vision with many people contributing art, advice, and time.
It is a type of place that people volunteer to come work in the factory for a few hours because
the things we make are totally unique and fun.
We have developed our own 'culture' along with Cafe mate blends.
- Art, Graphics, Image, Packaging
- Taste, Blends, Ingredients, Natural Commerce
- Sales, Fair Trade, Vision
- People, Social, Parties, Sharing
- Modern, Creative, Original, Emergent
These are some words that come to mind when I think about the visions expressed about Cafe
Mate.
Our Products show our values, our mission, and hopefully, our cool style.
You will notice our packaging changes quite often. Graphics, wording,
descriptions, our business constantly changes and grows in many ways.
Cafe Mate is a creative effort infusing Health, Wellness and Thought.
We are dedicated to promoting research and awareness about Yerba Mate.
Our goal is to provide Gourmet Products, exclusive in Appearance, flavor and expression.
