Yaupon Tea
Yaupon Tea
Our new year offering from Rhizome Revival is our first batch of backyard harvested Yaupon tea. Yaupon tea is not only rich in antioxidants but also among the few plants native to the United States that contain caffeine and often used as a coffee substitute. The leaves have been dried and lightly toasted for a rich nutty earthy flavor.
Yaupon tea is rich in several polyphenols, which are natural compounds that act as antioxidants to reduce inflammation and prevent oxidative damage to your cells. It also contains theobromine, a compound that improves focus and brain function.
To brew: add 1 teaspoon of toasted yaupon leaves to 1 cup of boiling water. Steep the leaves for 5–10 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Brewing tea for a longer amount of time results in a stronger, more concentrated flavor, while steeping for shorter periods gives the tea a subtler, milder taste.
$15 for 30g (approximately 15 cups)
