What is Yaupon Tea?
Discover the essence of purity with America's only naturally caffeinated plant, sourced directly from local farmers. We take pride in using only the finest, 100% natural ingredients—no compromises. Each blend is meticulously crafted with real fruits, flowers, and spices, ensuring a delightful medley of nuanced, complex flavors. Say goodbye to artificial additives and embrace the authenticity of our tea blends, straight from nature to your cup.
Yaupon Tea Highlights
Never Bitter Tea
Yaupon Tea lacks tannin, a molecule found in the leaf of other teas (and coffee). Tannin causes an astringent / bitter taste, browning of the teeth and sometimes upset stomach. Without tannin, Yaupon Tea has a lighter, smooth taste and it means you can't oversteep your teabag!
1/3 The Caffeine of Coffee
A cup of America's Classic Yaupon Tea (our pure Yaupon blend) has the most caffeine, with ~60mg per cup. Compared to coffee at ~180mg per cup. Our other blends have slightly less caffeine because we've added other (non-caffeinated) ingredients.

Tremendous Health Benefits
Yaupon Tea is packed with powerful antioxidants including polyphenols and flavonoids, which are linked to the prevention of cancer. It also is high in theobromine - the "pleasure" molecule found in chocolate AND is a natural anti-inflammatory. Yaupon Tea is great for brain, heart AND gut health with the added bonus of tasting great! Click to learn more about all of Yaupon tea's health benefits.
