Yaupon Brothers American Tea Company was founded in 2015 by two brothers, Bryon and Kyle White.
Our Yaupon teas are a true labor of love. Each leaf is hand-plucked, carefully dried or fire-roasted, graded and milled, and hand-packed in our facility in Edgewater, Florida. We don't outsource any aspect of production, because we won't compromise on quality. Yaupon Brothers has a policy of transparency, because we're proud of our craft and we want to share it with the world. Quality combines with nature's special touch in East Central Florida, where Yaupon trees are ancient and very special.
Partnerships and Collaborations
Yaupon has been used as an important food, medicine, and ceremonial item by Indigenous people for thousands of years. We want to tell that story in a way that pays respect to native people, and we believe firmly in the native food rematriation movement. Five percent of our online sales are donated directly to North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NĀTIFS), founded by James Beard award winner Chef Sean Sherman - The Sioux Chef.
