The 3rd Beverage

Too late for coffee.
Too early for a drink.
Meet the 3rd beverage.

Paraguayan tereré, bottled. Clean energy. No crash. Pura mbarete.

What it is

The afternoon ritual
the world's been missing.

Tereré is Paraguay's national drink. Yerba mate, cold, sipped slow, shared with everyone. For the first time, it's bottled and ready to drink.

Made with real yerba mate from Paraguay. No crash. No jitters. No added sugar garbage. Just the lift you need for the back half of your day.

Why now

There's a gap in your day.

It hits around 2pm. Coffee makes you anxious. An energy drink feels wrong. A cocktail is three hours too early.

That's where Tere lives.

The mate drinkers already know. The rest of the world is about to find out.

Summer 2026

Launching just in time for
Paraguay's return to the World Cup.

Sixteen years. That's how long Paraguay has been away from the world's biggest stage.

We're coming back. And we're bringing tereré with us.

Vamos, Albirroja. 🇵🇾

From the founder

I grew up on tereré.

My parents immigrated from Paraguay to NYC in the 80s. They became American citizens, built a life here, and raised me on the traditions they brought with them. Tereré, the icy pour of water over yerba mate in a guampa, sipped slowly through a bombilla, passed around the table until the thermos runs dry, was always one of them.

My family carries Paraguay with us everywhere. The language, the food, the ritual of sharing tereré in the afternoon heat.

Tere is my bet that the best afternoon drink on earth shouldn't stay a secret. We're bottling the feeling, not the ceremony. The ritual stays in the guampa. This is tereré for everyone else.

Salud,
Michael Vallejos
Founder, Tere Hijo de paraguayos. 🇵🇾
