When we say sustainability, we mean every step of our process is designed to benefit our land, our harvesters, our partners, and our customers.
- Wild-grown & sustainably harvested
Our yaupon grows naturally in its native environment—no monoculture farming, no irrigation, no replanting required. - Rainwater & sunshine only
Yaupon needs no added water to grow. Unlike coffee, which can require up to 37 gallons of water per cup, our process relies on what nature already provides. - Low-impact processing
No water is added during harvesting or processing, and our facilities are powered by solar energy. - People-first harvesting
Our harvesting program includes a second-chance employment initiative, creating meaningful, dignified work while supporting long-term stewardship of the land. - Thoughtful packaging
All packaging is fully recyclable or compostable, designed to reduce waste from cup to cupboard.

Yaupon supports the body in a steady, balanced way—offering gentle energy, natural resilience, and an easygoing cup you can return to throughout the day.
- Clean, steady energy
Naturally occurring caffeine is balanced by compounds like theobromine and theacrine, supporting alertness and focus without jitters or crashes. - Smooth and easy on the body
Naturally free of tannins, yaupon stays smooth and non-bitter and often feels lighter on the stomach than many teas or coffee. - Antioxidant support
Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, yaupon helps support the body’s natural defenses against everyday oxidative stress. - Naturally occurring saponins
Contribute to yaupon’s clean, smooth mouthfeel while quietly supporting balance and the body’s natural defenses.
