We were so flattered to connect with Shirley Ju - and she wrote such a tremendous article on our local tea business!  If you haven't seen it, check it out here:

See a small excerpt:

From the outset we [at Rise Yaupon] believed that tea can change lives:

-For customers: We want to make a tea that has tremendous health benefits but still tastes great. 

-For employees: We employ local people looking to improve their lives.  We hire second-chance employees as our tea harvesters and also have neurodivergent, physically and mentally handicapped individuals, and seniors looking for community as key members of our production team. We also have a fabulous job training program for entry-level workers. 

-For our community: $1 from EVERY retail unit sold is donated to a local charity, mostly to help feed homeless children in our county.

Drink tea. Be healthy. Do good.
