Brand: Lost Pines Yaupon Tea

Lightly roasted wild harvested yaupon. A tantalizing range of complex flavors. Bright yet nutty, with a hint of caramel sweetness. Yaupon is nearly free of tannins, so it doesn't have the bitterness of regular tea. Like all Lost Pines Yaupon Tea, it contains the perfect balance of caffeine and theobromine to give you a focused and jitter-free buzz. Theobromine is the pleasure molecule coveted by lovers of dark chocolate, that increases feelings of well being, contentment and focus.

• YAUPON IS THE ONLY CAFFEINE NATIVE TO NORTH AMERICA! It has a focused, jitter-free buzz because of its balance of caffeine and theobromine, the pleasure molecule familiar to lovers of dark chocolate.
• TASTE - A tantalizing range of complex flavors. Brewed lightly it is smooth and bright with a hint of caramel sweetness. Stronger or longer steepings yield a more bold, nutty and grassy flavor with a silky texture.
• THE TOAD - We work with private property owners to remove yaupon as part of a conservation effort to restore breeding habitat for the critically endangered Houston Toad.
• HUGGING TREES - Reforest instead of deforest. After recent fires in the Lost Pines Forest, yaupon is threatening to turn large parts of the forest into yaupon thickets. Removing yaupon helps restore natural plant community balance and is vital for prevention of forest fires.
