Brighton Shop/ Guarana Bar
Officially established in 1989, the Guaraná Company Ltd was set up to distribute fairtrade Guaraná products to the UK festival scene and to gently introduce Guaraná into the retail market. Our mission was to promote the many effective methods of use of Guaraná from the original historical source of the Sateré-Mawé Indians of the Brazilian Amazon.
Guara = human being
na = similar, alike
Guaraná at the Festivals
The 1990's saw the rise in popularity of Guaraná and as we toured more and more festivals awareness grew and many people found it useful in their day to day lives. These festivals included Glastonbury, Womad, Big Green Gathering, Reading, Brighton Pride, Strawberry Fair and Metro Weekender.
The Guaraná Bar in Brighton
1999 saw the launch of the first Guaraná based retail store and boutique bar in the UK and Europe. We are based in Sydney St in the North Laine area of Brighton. Come and relax upstairs in our chillout lounge or shop downstairs whilst having a coffee or sampling one of our many smoothie and shake recipes. These are truly delicious, healthy and sometimes very stimulating, consisting of anything from Brazilian Acaí, Chinese Goji berries, Peruvian Maca to Spirulina, raw chocolate and Guaraná to name just a few. Why not also get your daily shot of the highly nutritious wheatgrass while you're here! A real Aladdin's cave of health, nutrition and stimulation.
