What is Yaupon Holly Tea?

Yaupon is an ancient, historic tea, made from the leaves of a tree called Yaupon Holly, which is the only naturally caffeinated plant in North America. The tea is rich in antioxidants and has caffeine levels similar to Asian green tea, but Yaupon Holly does not contain tannins, which is what causes the bitterness found in ordinary tea. The Yaupon Brothers tea is wild-harvested in certified organic forests in Florida without the use of fertilizers, pesticides or chemicals of any kind, and watered from natural rainfall.
