Kaa-Yari by Pipore

once upon a time, in the dense jungles of misiones, argentina, surrounded by nature and its vivid glory, there lived a man and his daughter. kept alive by, what the earth yielded to them, they lived a humble and happy life. legend says, a traveler once crossed their path. walking wearily, he sought rest and shelter. father and daughter, with barely any wealth, gave him warmth and nurture. in his parting words, the visitor, divine, pronounced a heavenly claim – their actions were not to go unrewarded. the girl should become, in myth, the element of vital spirit, which keeps the world alive – kaa yari. kaa yari, by pipore, is named after the goddess of 'yerba (herb) mate (cup)' and follows the ancient practice of brewing kaa leaves into mate for their stimulating and restorative effects on the body and the mind. it infuses tradition with modernity, which has shaped histories of community and personal wellness, for its restorative and stimulating effects upon the body and the mind.
