WHAT IS YAUPON? (And by the way, we pronounce it “yo- Pon”)
SIMPLY, THE ONLY CAFFEINATED PLANT NATIVE TO NORTH AMERICA!
Yaupon holly is an evergreen shrub native to the southeastern U.S., primarily between Florida and Texas.
It is the only naturally occurring caffeine producing plant in the U.S. Brewed for centuries by Native Americans,
this American treasure was forgotten. Left behind by the busyness of modernity. Until now!
Our Yaupon is wild harvested using regenerative agriculture practices in the Lone Star State of Texas.
Wild growing yaupon is pure and pristine, having grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides
or even irrigation. The yaupon is harvested while still on its branches and allowed to shade dry and oxidize for a few days.
