Golden Yaupon
Golden Yaupon
Yaupon has a pretty wild history, and at one point was one of, if not the most coveted tea in the world. That reputation was well earned, and we're excited to be part of the movement to re-introduce this superfood tea to the world again.
Yaupon tea has gentle caffeine and loaded with antioxidants, making it an ideal beverage for health-conscious individuals. Not only is it impossible to over-steep, but you can re-steep it multiple times without losing flavor or strength.
Flavor & Aroma
Yaupon is sweet, smooth, airy, refined and mellow with earthy, slightly smoky undertones.
Health Benefits
Health Benefits
Mental Health - Improves mental focus, reaction time, memory, mood and motivation (caffeine & theobromine)
Boosts Energy - Contains theacrine which increases stamina and endurance. Theacrine also prevents caffeine tolerance, so you won't overcaffinate.
Diabetes Management - Helps regulate blood sugar by slowing down the release of glucose into the bloodstream, preventing cravings, fatigue, mood swings, and crashes. It also may improve insulin sensitivity, potentially preventing or treating diabetes.
Improves Heart Health - Helps lower blood pressure, improves circulation, and lowers bad cholesterol levels.
Anti-Cancer Properties - Certain polyphenols in this tea have shown the potential to reduce inflammation and lower cancer growth. Older studies have shown Yaupon tea could prevent colon cancer cells from growing.

This was my first time ordering this tea and I loved it. The aroma it releases as its brewing is very pleasant. It has a nice sweet flavor, and is very light which makes it easy to drink. One cup of this in the morning helps me start my day with the right amount of energy.
I've intentionally stayed away from caffeine for a while now. I was curious about this tea because of its origin to America, but had second thoughts after seeing it was caffeinated. I asked the company about the caffeine and they shared insight that helped me realize all caffeine is not created equally. So, I tried it and just like the package stated, 'energy without the jitters' and I had no adverse reaction!
