Guayaki is a slur used against Ache people. It means rabid dog. It's one of the worst words you can call an indigenous person in Paraguay.

Yerba mate isn't exactly sacred to my people but we know how to make it just fine. Guayaki has "improved" what we been doing 1000s of years.

Imagine going to a place you know nothing about, telling people they're doing yerba mate wrong, naming a company after a racial slur.
