FAQs

What is Yaupon Tea?

Yaupon is North America’s only native caffeinated plant. Our Yaupon tea is grown organically, where it belongs, using regenerative agriculture. It’s a sustainable tea that works with the land, not against it, supporting the environment, our farmers, and future generations.

What does Yaupon Tea taste like?

Yaupon has a naturally smooth, low-tannin profile that delivers a clean, approachable flavor without harsh bitterness. Because it lacks the heavy tannins found in traditional teas, it is incredibly easy to drink and brews beautifully, whether you prefer it hot or iced.

How much caffeine is in Yaupon Tea?

Yaupon tea contains around 60mg of caffeine. While the exact amount of caffeine depends on how strongly you brew it, a typical cup contains roughly the same amount of caffeine as a cup of green tea (and less than a cup of coffee).

Yaupon tea gives you the lift you want without the crash you don’t. It provides a clean, natural caffeine boost that won’t leave you wired or wiped out later.

Is Yaupon Tea good for you?

Yes! Yaupon tea is naturally rich in antioxidants, making it a fantastic addition to your everyday wellness routine. Because it is packed with antioxidants that help support your body day after day, it’s an easy, feel-good choice for everyday sipping.

How do you brew Yaupon Tea?

Heat water to 212° F (boiling).
Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for five minutes.
Strain and enjoy.

For loose-leaf tea, use about 1 teaspoon of tea per cup. For tea bags, use 1 tea bag per cup. Adjust steeping time for stronger or lighter tea based on personal preference. For Iced Tea, cool to room temperature, pour over ice and add sweetener as you like!
