We’re thrilled to share that Yaupon Brothers American Tea was recently featured in two major global publications—The Washington Post and The Guardian!
As champions of America’s only native caffeinated plant, we’ve spent over a decade bringing Yaupon back to life through regenerative farming, ethical sourcing, and good old-fashioned hustle. Seeing this ancient tea gain global attention is a dream come true—not just for us, but for every Yaupon supporter out there.
🗞️ The Washington Post: Yaupon as a Tariff-Proof, Homegrown Caffeine Source
In their piece, the Post explores how Yaupon is thriving as a domestic alternative to imported teas and coffee, especially in the face of rising tariffs and disrupted global supply chains.
“Yaupon tea, made from a species of holly native to the southeastern U.S., is having a moment…” — The Washington Post
Yaupon is naturally caffeinated, smooth in flavor, and grown right here in the Southeast U.S.—making it a win for both your morning routine and the planet.
🌎 The Guardian: Yaupon as a Climate-Resilient Superleaf
Just days later, The Guardian followed up with a deep dive into Yaupon’s indigenous roots, regenerative potential, and the cultural revival it represents.
“It’s more than a drink—it’s a cultural revival and an ecological solution.” — The Guardian
Our team at Yaupon Brothers has planted over 250,000 Yaupon trees on farms across the Southeast, creating a scalable, resilient supply chain for generations to come.
✅ Why This Matters (and Why It’s Just the Beginning)
