My folks have had a Yaupon Tree in the front yard for decades now. Never knew about its caffeinated wonders until reading this! 🍵 🌳

Tariffs give the U.S.’s only native caffeinated plant a shot at stardom

Founded in 2011, CatSpring was one of the earliest yaupon producers on the market, offering dark and green roasts (similar to black and green tea flavor profiles) in loose leaf and bagged options.

I'd been wanting to try yaupon tea for a while. I finally did this week (yes, the frog on the label influenced my choice of what brand to try).

I tried it both hot and iced - hot I preferred with a bit of honey, as often with strong black teas. Pleasant floral aroma, taste definitely similar to but not the same as black tea. From first try, I like it.
