A native shrub growing along the gulf coast, it is the the only caffeinated plant in North America. Yaupon, simply put, is great cup of tea! Enjoy the smooth taste and stimulating properties. With just the right amount of caffeine, theobromine and theophyline, yaupon helps you to get energized (but without the jitters or bitterness that often comes with coffee, black teas or yerba mate), while also promoting feeling of calm and well being.
Yaupon - Tastes Great! Feels Good!
Yaupon is a native holly plant (Ilex v.) that grows commonly across the southeast USA, from about east Texas to coastal South Carolina. It is similar to other holly species in the Ilex genus, like Ilex paraguariensis in South America, from which yerba mate is made. Several different roasts of Yaupon tea are available from Forestopia - Green, Medium and Dark, all sustainably gathered from the wild and expertly roasted by our harvester partners in Texas and Georgia. Try some today, it just might become your favorite cup of tea! Yaupon is another one of our tree-based super-food products!
