Introducing Loose Leaf Yaupon Tea Blends!

Discover Two New Loose Leaf Tea Blends Inspired by Centenarian Diets

At Rise Yaupon, we’re constantly inspired by the traditions and wisdom passed down through generations. That’s why we’re excited to introduce two new loose leaf tea blends, each crafted with ingredients commonly found in the diets of the world’s healthiest centenarians. Drawing inspiration from Okinawa, Japan, and Ikaria, Greece, these teas are designed not only to delight your taste buds but also to nurture your wellness, much like they have for those who live among the longest-living people on the planet.

1. Mushroom Turmeric Yaupon Holly Tea Blend

Okinawa, Japan, is renowned for its high number of centenarians—people who live well into their 100s. This blend reflects the region’s diet, which is rich in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-packed ingredients. The Okinawa-inspired tea combines:

• Yaupon Holly: A natural source of caffeine, antioxidants, and theobromine, providing a smooth energy boost without the jitters.
• Shiitake Mushrooms: Known for their immune-boosting properties, shiitake mushrooms bring an earthy depth to the tea.
• Turmeric: Revered for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, turmeric adds a bright, slightly peppery note.
• Bitter Melon: A traditional superfood, bitter melon adds a distinctive, mildly bitter flavor while promoting blood sugar balance and digestion.
• Jasmine Flowers: Light and floral, jasmine adds a touch of sweetness and relaxation to the blend.

Why You Should Try It: This tea is perfect for anyone looking for a balanced, anti-inflammatory beverage that supports both physical vitality and mental clarity. It’s ideal for those who appreciate complex flavors with an earthy, savory base, but still enjoy a gentle floral finish. Whether you’re seeking to enhance your immune function or simply want a comforting, rejuvenating drink, this blend brings together the wisdom of Okinawan health traditions in every sip.

2. Rosemary Sage Yaupon Holly Tea Blend

Ikaria, Greece, is another region known for its longevity, where many people live well past 100 with minimal signs of aging. The Ikarian diet is rich in herbs, which are celebrated for their health-boosting properties. Our Ikaria-inspired blend features:

• Yaupon Holly: As with the Okinawa blend, yaupon holly adds a smooth, energizing base rich in antioxidants.
• Greek Mountain Tea: A staple of the Ikarian diet, this herb is known for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, with a mild, slightly floral flavor.
• Sage: A herb often used in Mediterranean cooking, sage brings a savory, slightly peppery taste that complements the other herbs.
• Rosemary: A fragrant herb with a slightly piney, woodsy flavor, rosemary is prized for its cognitive-enhancing and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Lemon Balm: Light, citrusy, and slightly minty, this herb gives the tea a gentle sweetness and a refreshing lift, perfect for relaxation.
  
• Oregano: Widely used in Greek cuisine, oregano adds a zesty, aromatic note to the blend, enhancing both flavor and wellness.

Why You Should Try It: If you love herbal teas that are both bold and soothing, this blend is for you. It’s perfect for those looking for a fragrant, well-rounded drink that combines traditional Greek herbs with the energizing benefits of yaupon. Our Rosemary Sage tea supports mental clarity and digestive health, while offering a flavorful escape to the Mediterranean with every sip.
