Roasted yaupon leaves, peaches. Contains caffeine.

First of all, what is yaupon?

Yaupon is a tea with a rich, largely unknown history. It has deep Indigenous roots... posed a threat to King George III, and slowly died a reputational death in the early 20th century.

Yaupon is a type of holly and North America's only caffeinated plant. It's native to southeastern United States, growing from the coast and to the west as far as Texas. 

What does yaupon taste like? 

Unlike camelia sinesis (the plant that produces black, green and white tea), yaupon as no tannins.  It's the tannins in black tea that make it bitter. Yaupon instead has a more mellow, earthy flavor. 

About our Yaupon Peach Tea
