Yaupon Preparation
Yaupon can be steeped like tea, brewed like coffee or even prepared in the same style as yerba mate.
Bursting with flavor! Smooth, delicious yaupon tea with juicy raspberries. A perfect combination. Lightly sweetened with cane sugar. All real ingredients—no flavorings!
The natural tartness of real raspberries paired with smooth yaupon tea creates a beautifully balanced drink that's both refreshing and satisfying. Unlike artificially flavored teas, this concentrate delivers authentic berry flavor in every sip. Just add water—still or sparkling—for an instant gourmet beverage. It also makes an exceptional cocktail mixer. Try it with champagne for a raspberry tea mimosa, or mix with vodka or gin for berry-forward cocktails.
Instructions: Shake well before using. Mix 2 tablespoons per 8oz of water, or mix the entire jar with 7 cups of water for a pitcher. Refrigerate after opening and use within two weeks.
Ingredients: Yaupon tea (filtered water, yaupon), cane sugar, raspberries, lemon juice.

In the past, the Houston toad lived all over the central coastal area of Texas, but thanks to development and drought, they are now critically endangered. To help restore the forest and make the land more favorable for the toad, the Lost Pines Habitat Conservation Plan was created.
The drinking of yaupon goes back into the time of the ancients, before the cataloging of history and the arrival of Europeans in the New World. Yaupon, the only caffeinated plant native to North America and a relative of yerba mate and guayusa, is an inconspicuous little evergreen that grows along the coastal regions of the Southern United States and the Atlantic coast.
