I am always on the lookout for new tea! The light/ocelot blend of yaupon has an earthy, mild, and sweet tea with an aftertaste of green tea. I get less jitters from it due to the lower caffeine, but it still helps me get moving when I need to. Or it can be just a pleasant cup to enjoy- it's starting to become my mid-morning habit! And when I'm wearing out in the afternoon, I can drink yaupon instead of my regular energy drink. I can't wait to try it with ice!

I am particularly fond of the Ocelot Light Roast! But all three are wonderful! Highly recommend!

I am a heavy coffee drinker, but I was delighted to try this tea! I love its sweet, floral, herby flavor. Perfect straight up or with honey. Each roast is unique and interesting in its own way and all are great. I also love that it's easy on my stomach unlike tea at times. True to description I find it gives me the perfect mood lift and mental clarity to start the day off easy before hitting the coffee. I will definitely be buying more of this!

I had no idea what to expect when I bought this tea. It's my new favorite hot beverage!

Coffee makes me crash too hard, black tea upsets my stomach from all the tannins. But I really do enjoy that cup of something in the morning with a little kick. I tried the three pack of each roast, and while they're all good, I think the light is my favorite. If you're worried about it tasting weird or nasty it does not at all. It's very light. Easy to drink and has a great flavor. And the absolute perfect amount of caffeine with no crash. No jitters but still gets you that get up and go.

I never realized there was more to hot caffeinated drinks than coffee and tea, so was really excited to try this. Loved the taste and felt like the pick-me-up factor was on point. Highly recommend to all tea/coffee drinkers!

This tea is clean, supports small farmers, and is local to my area. I love that I get to support this small brand instead of a massive corporation. I usually don’t drink tea straight because most taste bitter but no sugar required here - I find it delicious enough to drink as-is. I’ve enjoyed it hot and iced and doesn’t make me feel restless or jittery. I also had an issue with my order delivery and Liam was very responsive and gave me amazing customer service. I recommend the variety pack for first timers. I’ll definitely be ordering again when I run out.

I'm a bit of a coffee and tea snob, though entirely by accident. My wife got into tea some years ago. I was never a tea person, but I got interested in it while helping her develop some blends. It turns out I like hard, smokey, fermented teas like pu'er and smoke Lapsang Souchong. I saw GoldHolly's advertisement on Facebook after buying a round of "my" teas from a Chinese sourcing company.

The thing is, I also love new things, and I love buying American. I'd never heard of a North American native alternative. There is only one tea (Camellia sinensis) plantation in the United States (in Charleston, SC) and they sell out very early in the harvest season. So I decided to give all three roasts a try.

Each one is impressive, and the brewed flavor actually has real range. There are definitive taste differences between each roast level, and I can find one that fits my mood for the moment. Don't be fooled by my comments earlier about liking "hard" tea -- these yaupon teas are not. They're low tannin, don't taste anything like fermented fish, and are downright enjoyable. It's actually quite nice to get full flavor out of something without getting beaten over the teeth with tannins.

These have become part of my normal tea/coffee rotation. If you like "normal" black tea, but find green tea too weak or uninteresting - I think this product line is an especially good fit. It has a familiarity, in the sense that is shares flavor profiles with oolong and black tea, but is also different.

When I'm looking for something lighter than my "heavy hitters," I reach for the GoldHolly now. Especially if you want a full-flavor tea but don't feel like dealing with the tannins.

Very happy customer.

I got a bundle with all 3 flavors and have liked them all. I think the dark roast is my favorite, but they are all good. I’m usually a green tea drinker and just wanted to add more variety to my mornings.

We loved this tea and can't wait to get more. It's mild and gentle, and very smooth. It reminded me a bit of yerba mate but without the bitterness. It's really good!!

This has quickly replaced my afternoon coffee. It tastes great and is incredibly smooth, lacking any bitterness of traditional tea. Its light caffeination provides enough energy to make it through a busy afternoon without keeping you up at night.

So delicious and smooth. I’ve been finding it particularly enjoyable when I hit the post lunch slump. Really tasty. I look forward my GoldHolly tea every day now. Thanks!

I’m loving this! It’s a great pick-me-up on those rough work days, even though I’m technically a tea snob and usually only drink the British brew!

I’ve been using the light roast cold brew for a while now (2 packets in a quart size deli container left in fridge overnight) and it’s been a refreshing summer drink! It’s especially good for staving off the post-lunch food coma. Can’t wait to try the other flavors!

I first saw this tea on an Instagram ad, and it was funny timing as I just starting expanding my tea selection (I don’t do well with coffee or high caffeine energy drinks). I was interested in the low tannins of the tea, and that this was a native plant grown organically, the price was fair so I took a chance and ordered a box. Let me just tell you, I’m blown away! The taste is much better than I was expecting, and there is no bitterness that you get with other teas. The lower caffeine was nice for me as I could drink it later in the evening and have no trouble winding down to go to sleep and still enjoy a good tea while relaxing after a work day. I’ve tried it both hot and iced, and I think my preference is iced but hot is still great! Adding a touch of honey and lemon really brings it up a notch and is my go to way of drinking both hot or cold. If you’re on the fence of ordering some, just do it, I’m sure you will be happy!
