The Yaupon revival is an inspiring American comeback. Southern ranchers declared this native holly invasive and cleared acres of scrub. They forgot (or perhaps some never knew) that the drought-tolerant bushes yield a robust, naturally caffeinated tea.

Harney & Sons sources sustainably harvested, toasty Yaupon Black leaf tea in Texas from ranches that promote social justice. Steep as you would other handcrafted black teas, and enjoy the uniquely American buzz.
