yaupon tea cocktails

Yaupon is a mood-elevating tea with a long history in Florida dating back to the Native Americans in the region. Yaupon tea, known as the black drink, was consumed as a source of energy and used in ceremonies to purify the spirit. The yaupon holly is the only source of caffeine native to North America and is reemerging as a beverage of choice as people are looking for more sustainable and locally grown options. You can find yaupon tea and yaupon tea blends locally at Cultivate Tea & Spice.
