INTI represents a sustainable and confident innovation in beverage consumption. With our cups, we're taking the way tea is celebrated to a new level. Boring teacups and mugs are a thing of the past, tea bags and additional packaging waste are eliminated, and you have the freedom to decide what goes into your cup.
At INTI, well-being is a top priority. With this project, we want to raise awareness in society about food products that enhance the well-being of our customers.
The Journey to the Project: My sports management studies allowed me to work part-time as a lifeguard. One day, my Argentinian colleague, Diego, invited me to try mate. I couldn't refuse, as the look and feel of the vessel immediately piqued my interest. The taste was quite new and intriguing. I quickly noticed the effects, as the ingredients led to a significant increase in my energy and concentration. Over time, I researched the ingredients and concluded that this organic product is ideal for athletes and active people. The combination of its effectiveness and sustainability fascinated me.
This led me to travel to Argentina at the end of December 2022, just a few days after the FIFA World Cup final, to immerse myself in the mate culture and learn more about it, so that I could later share my knowledge. I traveled alone through the country to connect with producers of mate cups and yerba mate plantation owners. It was a very exciting experience and brought me together with extraordinary people. Among them were the brothers Taro and Carlos. They own a wonderful plantation in Los Herlechos in the mate-loving province of Misiones. They bring a wealth of experience from their dedicated tea cultivation and can look back on a family tradition spanning over 100 years, dating back to 1921. I am very proud to announce that they also supply INTI with organic yerba mate and other special, rare, and high-quality teas.
We live and breathe INTI: As a former sports student who lives and breathes sports and all its facets, I have to deal with nutrition. This led to the idea of universally usable cups for all types of tea and beyond.
