What is Yaupon?
Yaupon is the only caffeinated plant native to North America. Part of the holly genus Ilex, Yaupon is drought-resistant and well suited for hot climates, like Florida. The plant is foraged in the wild with no irrigation or inputs. For thousands of years, Native Americans consumed Yaupon as a natural medicine. The Natives traded the leaves with other tribes and later with the European settlers, who consumed it daily. Yaupon exports to Europe rapidly increased to the point that it contested the East India Trading Company's black tea business.
