As the only caffeinated plant native to North America, yaupon is a superfood combining caffeine and theobromine (also found in cocoa beans) to provide a jitter-free lift and enhanced mood and mental focus. It is also rich in antioxidants and polyphenols to help boost immunity and improve metabolic function.
Our yaupon is sustainably grown, meaning it is wild-harvested, organic, rain-fed, and uses no pesticides or chemicals of any kind. It also has a smaller carbon footprint from less transportation and less intensive production methods compared to other caffeinated teas.
Yaupon tea and its health benefits have been consumed and celebrated by Native Americans for more than 1,000 years.
Today, research has confirmed that yaupon contains the following heath benefits:
Naturally combines caffeine, theobromine (found in cocoa beans), theacrine, and theophylline
Chlorogenic acids: Protect against heart disease, diabetes, and obesity
Rutin: Reduces inflammation and supports brain function
Saponins: Helps regulate cholesterol levels
Flavonoids: Provide anti-inflammatory and chemo-preventative effects
