Yaupon, from the coastal South.
Native to the South.Built for the wild.
Yaupon-powered provisions. Brewed on the coast, made for the long way around.
The yaupon belt
runs the coast.
Wild from the live oak hammocks of coastal Georgia down to the longleaf flatwoods of Florida. We work the coast we grew up on.
America’s native
source of caffeine.
Yaupon is the only plant native to North America that produces caffeine. A coastal holly, brewed on this coast for thousands of years.
The leaf was steeped, traded, and shared in ceremony by Indigenous nations of the Southeast — the Timucua, Muscogee, Catawba, and others — long before us. We brew it with respect for the people who knew it first.
