About This Yaupon is a rare caffeinated herbal tea that comes from a plant called the Yaupon Holly. It is a close cousin to Yerba Mate and Guayusa, and the caffeine level is similar to traditional Green Tea. Yaupon is an American plant and our tea is harvested and processed in Florida, not overseas. Never bitter makes it better. Yaupon tea is essentially tannin-free, and cannot be oversteeped in time or temperature. This tea tastes wonderful without the need for sugar! An ancient medicinal tea. Yaupon is naturally loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingrediants. It is also a prebiotic and great for gut-health in general. The spearmint and peppermint of this blend also makes it easy on the stomach. Rise Yaupon makes environmentally perfect tea. We use no pesticides, no fertilizers, and no water (other than natural rain). Yaupon is a non-GMO native species and because it does not cross an ocean to get here, it is carbon-negative (which is positive!). 100% sustainable.
