Yaupon Brothers Organic Teas
Yaupon Brothers American Teas are a true labor of love. Each leaf is hand-plucked, carefully dried or fire-roasted, graded and milled, and hand-packed. They don't outsource any aspect of production, because they won't compromise on quality. Quality combines with nature's special touch in East Central Florida, where Yaupon trees are ancient and very special.
Their regenerative agriculture model focuses on Yaupon Holly as a sustainable native crop. Native plants require fewer inputs, like pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. Fewer inputs means less pollution in our soil and in our waterways. Their wild-crop operations harvest Yaupon in sustainable amounts that preserves the health of the trees, and they destroy invasive plant species like the Brazilian Pepper in our wild-crop areas. All Yaupon Brothers growing and processing operations are certified organic.
