FAQ

Frequently asked questions about yaupon, preparation, sustainability, and more.

How is Goldholly Yaupon Tea different from regular tea?

Yaupon holly is a different species than tea - it's the northern cousin of yerba maté from South America. In addition to its unparalleled boost of theacrine + theobromine + antioxidant polyphenols, yaupon tea lacks the teeth-staining tannins in tea, leading to a naturally smoother taste.

How does Goldholly Yaupon Tea help American farmers?

For our yaupon holly sourced from Texas, our partners harvest yaupon from surrounding ranches and farms, improving the land for grazing + farming and reducing the amount of harmful herbicides that farmers use.

For our yaupon holly sourced from Georgia & Florida, our partners run a regenerative yaupon agriculture operation: improving long-leaf pine ecosystems and creating jobs + living wages in rural communities.

Why is Goldholly Yaupon Tea good for the environment?

Grown in America means we don't have to ship our yaupon thousands of miles from Africa, Asia, or South America - unlike tea and coffee. Yaupon holly requires no pesticides, herbicides, or even fertilizer: just rainwater & sunshine. Our yaupon is native, drought-resilient, and provides habitat and food for pollinators and other native wildlife throughout the American South.

How much caffeine is in Goldholly Yaupon Tea?

15-25mg per sachet of yaupon- perfect for a morning cup, midday pick-me-up, or afternoon study session.

Is Goldholly Yaupon Tea packaging recyclable?

Our paper boxes are recyclable.

And how exactly do you pronounce yaupon, anyway?

It's commonly pronounced 'yo-pawn', denoted by the International Phonetic Alphabet notation as /ˈjɔˌpɑn/.
