Premium Maués Guaraná
Natural energy with an extraordinary origin.
Guaraná (Paullinia cupana) has been part of Amazonian life for centuries, with its history deeply connected to the Sateré-Mawé people and the region of Maués.
Unlike commodity guaraná produced primarily for industrial extraction, our focus is on carefully processed guaraná intended as a premium food and functional ingredient.
The fruit is harvested when mature, the seeds are processed, roasted, peeled and finely milled to create a distinctive powder suitable for product development across multiple categories.

From Maués
A place shaped by guaraná.
Maués, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, has one of the world’s deepest historical relationships with guaraná.
Here, production is not simply agriculture. It is knowledge passed through generations, adapted to rivers, seasons, communities and the realities of life in the Amazon.
Small production volumes, manual harvesting and traditional processing make this fundamentally different from large-scale commodity agriculture.
We don't want to turn this into a commodity.
We want to preserve what makes it valuable.
Amazonian Cacao + Guaraná
When natural energy meets chocolate.
What if a functional product didn’t have to choose between purpose and pleasure?
Amazonian cacao and Maués guaraná come together in an existing product concept that demonstrates exactly the kind of innovation KAIA wants to explore.
Chocolate becomes more than confectionery — it becomes a platform for discovering how exceptional Amazonian ingredients can work together in entirely new ways.
FUNCTIONAL. ENJOYABLE. DISTINCTLY AMAZONIAN.
