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.

Brian F. ★★★★★

I grabbed this out of curiosity about the native holly history, and the smooth, malty black flavor won me over on the first cup. It's become my default morning brew, no real bitterness even when I steep it a little long.

Olivia ★★★★★

The drought tolerance sold me since my well runs low in August, and it's held up fine. Brews dark and smooth with a little natural sweetness, no sugar needed.

Isabella P. ★★★★★

Didn't expect a native holly to brew this well. The malty backbone holds up to a splash of milk without going flat, and I like that it's drought-tolerant stuff ranchers used to clear.
