Yerba Madre – formerly known as Guayakí Yerba Mate – is ushering in a new era of innovation with the launch of Watermelody, the first seasonal release to debut under its new name and refreshed iconic yellow can design.

Crafted to fuel long summer days and energize the shift into back-to-school season, Watermelody bottles up a juicy dose of sunshine and joy – made from organic ingredients, rooted in regeneration and designed to be sipped, savored and shared. This limited-time flavor is rolling out now at select grocery retailers across the Western US, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest — including H-E-B, Albertsons, Kroger divisions, and more — with nationwide availability via Sprouts (starting Oct. 1) and Amazon.

With nearly 30 years of connecting people through the tradition of sharing yerba mate, Yerba Madre continues to innovate by listening to the community. This seasonal drop was influenced by the people who love it most: our 12K+ Ambacebador superfan community. When asked what they wanted next, the answer was clear: the same organic energy of yerba mate with a bold, fruity twist.

Enter Watermelody – watermelon, yerba mate, and hibiscus in harmony. It contains juicy watermelon and deep berry notes blended with fresh green honeydew, ending in a refreshing sip.

Watermelody is certified organic, made with select Fair Trade ingredients, and delivers 150mg of smooth, plant-powered energy.
