WTF is Yaupon?
We’re Yaupon Brothers — the first company in over a millennia to bring this ancient American plant back to market. Long before coffee, Indigenous communities across the Southeast were brewing Yaupon for energy and ceremony. We’re proud to help revive that tradition — sustainably, regeneratively, and with serious flavor.
It’s North America’s only native source of caffeine.
Yaupon is a holly plant that’s been brewed as tea for thousands of years — long before lattes or energy drinks existed. We’re the OGs of the modern yaupon revival, harvesting and roasting this incredible plant right here in the South. Regeneratively grown, naturally caffeinated, and proudly American
Every Blend Starts with Yaupon
From smooth and grassy to bold and spiced, every blend begins with our regeneratively grown Southern Yaupon. It’s naturally energizing, never bitter, and impossible to over-steep.
