Mendo Maté® Brand Standards

Mendo Maté Power It Approved® prides our selves on making positive change and supporting the future development of communities by creating novelty products based off our brand standards. We strive to show there is a better way to conduct business through 100% Organic, Good-Trade, Non-Machine Productions, Living Wages and The Mendo Maté Guarantee. If a product can not meet our standards we do not sell it. So you do not have to question if a product is ORGANIC or adheres to the goals of a GOOD-TRADE, that just comes standard...

  • USDA Certified Organic Products.
  • Good-Trade Producer Direct.
  • Living Wage.
  • 100% Free Shipping.
  • The Mendo Maté Guarantee.

USDA Certified Organic Products: This means 2 things to Mendo Maté, LLC. One is our commitment to the environment and the second to our kids. When you see the USDA seal, it means the product is 95% or more certified organic. To us that is not good enough. So we make a pledge of 100% certified organic. If it is not 100% organic then we do not sell it.

Good-Trade: In the eyes of Mendo Maté there is nothing like trading with our principal partners. If we do not know the farmer or the manufacturer then we will not carry the products. Long ago we made a commitment to know our friends in each industry and to create well funded production lines and that is what we continue to do to this day. If we can not verify the wages and working conditions for our products we do not buy them.
