The Goldholly Variety Bundle is the complete collection of our best-selling yaupon teas: Original, Bold, and Mellow.

Keep them in rotation and reach for whichever one fits the moment.

Made from USDA Certified Organic yaupon holly, America’s only native caffeinated plant.

The Benefits of Clean American Caffeine

  • Jitter-Free Energy: Natural caffeine and theacrine for sustained energy without spikes or crashes
  • Antioxidant-Rich: Naturally occurring polyphenols and flavonoids, including rutin, with no additives
  • Smooth, Never Bitter: Low tannins mean no teeth stains, no astringency, and easier digestion than coffee or tea
  • 100% American-Grown: Sourced from family farms across the South, supporting American workers & communities
  • Just One Ingredient: Goldholly is USDA Certified Organic yaupon holly—nothing else

How to Enjoy: Heat, Steep, Sip or Chill

Heat 8 oz of water to 180–195°F. Steep for 6 to 7 minutes. Drink it hot, pour it over ice, or refrigerate overnight.

Each flavor opens up different possibilities. Original's bright, clean profile makes it a natural base for cold brews and refreshers. Bold's depth holds up brewed strong and works especially well as a classic American sweet tea with turbinado sugar over ice. Mellow takes honey and sweetener beautifully, and its warmth pairs with cinnamon for fall and winter drinks.

Keep all three in rotation and reach for whichever one fits the moment. Get inspired with more ideas on our Recipes page.

What makes Goldholly Yaupon different?

Refreshingly Smooth Flavor

Goldholly yaupon tea is smooth and refreshing, with no bitter astringency and a pleasant aftertaste. We offer three roasts of our organic tea to showcase the full spectrum of yaupon’s natural, dynamic flavors. Each flavor delivers a unique taste profile, with the same smooth and refreshing sipping experience.

  • Original is bright and crisp
  • Bold is rich and toasted
  • Mellow is malted and earthy

Try all three flavors and find your favorite—enjoy them hot or iced!

All-Day Clean Energy

Yaupon’s natural caffeine and long-lasting theacrine deliver sip-it-all-day, jitter-free energy without the spikes and crashes typical of coffee, energy drinks, black tea, and other caffeine sources.

Each flavor of Goldholly contains ~30mg of caffeine per teabag, as well as theacrine and theobromine, which elevate focus, enhance clarity, and improve mood. Adjust the number of teabags and amount of water to achieve your desired effects:

  • Improved focus (1 teabag + 6oz water)
  • All-day energy (2 teabags + 14oz water)
  • Peak performance (3 teabags + 8oz water)

Yaupon tea’s caffeine content can vary depending on preparation method. Hot brewed yaupon results in the highest caffeine content, whether you drink it immediately or refrigerate to drink it cold later. Our organic yaupon can also be cold-brewed, though this results in lower caffeine content.

Balanced Lift

Our organic tea contains theobromine and theacrine, which scientific studies suggest can work in tandem with caffeine for enhanced energy and lift throughout the day.

  • Theacrine is known for boosting energy, improving mood, and supporting sustained concentration. Plus, on its own, theacrine doesn’t impact sleep and actually improves cognitive recovery. Recent peer-reviewed research published in Nature found “no significant effect of the low or high theacrine dose on subsequent sleep” and that “consuming theacrine within eight hours of bedtime improved next-morning cognitive performance.”
  • Theobromine—the feel-good molecule found in chocolate—is known for promoting calm alertness, improving circulation, and enhancing overall cognitive performance.

Together, they create a balanced, smooth lift that sharpens energy without jitters, spikes, or crashes.

Healthy Antioxidants

Goldholly yaupon naturally contains a host of health-supporting natural antioxidants that are known to fight inflammation, promote longevity, and support cognitive function and health. These span antioxidant polyphenols, including flavonoids like rutin (quercetin-3-rutinoside) and kaempferol glycosides like nicotiflorin, as well as a range of chlorogenic polyphenols (CGA). Separately, yaupon’s caffeine, theacrine, and theobromine are also antioxidants.

Yaupon holly naturally contains these antioxidants just as it grows, offering health-support and better energy without any additional ingredients or additives.

Low Tannins

Yaupon tea naturally has low tannin content. Tannins are a family of astringent plant-based compounds with pigment-producing properties and a bitter taste.

Yaupon has significantly fewer teeth-staining tannins than coffee and tea, making it easier on your stomach, for smooth sipping with less bitterness.

Better for America & the Planet

100% American-Made

Goldholly is grown, crafted, and shipped entirely in the United States. Our organic yaupon is grown on regenerative family farms across the South, packaged in Philadelphia, and fulfilled in Poughkeepsie, New York. There, we proudly partner with Mid-Hudson Works, a nonprofit that provides meaningful jobs for veterans and folks with disabilities.

Drink Goldholly and feel good knowing each sip supports American farmers, workers, and communities.

All-Natural & Organic

Goldholly organic yaupon tea is USDA Certified Organic and grown on regenerative, family-run farms across the American South. Nourished by nothing but rainwater and sunshine, our yaupon is completely free of pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic chemicals.

Each sip offers a clean, natural boost—not just for you, but for the farmers, the land, and the living soil it comes from.

Ecosystems + Biodiversity

Yaupon holly belongs here. As a native plant, it fits the Southern landscape without displacing other species. Thoughtful harvesting opens dense understory, improves habitat structure, and lowers wildfire risk, keeping our American ecosystems resilient and strong. That same resilience benefits people, too: yaupon gives landowners a low‑input, regenerative income stream and keeps value in rural communities. 

This is why each of our roasts is named in honor of a threatened species that calls yaupon’s heartland home:

  • Texas Ocelot → Original
  • Carolina Red Wolf → Bold
  • Florida Panther → Mellow

Every cup helps keep ecosystems intact and livelihoods viable.

Supporting American Jobs & Communities

Goldholly is rooted in the communities where it’s grown and made. We craft our organic tea from yaupon holly—a resilient native crop that creates new income for Southern farmers and fresh opportunities in rural economies.

Every order is hand-packed in New York by Mid-Hudson Works, a nonprofit providing meaningful work to veterans and people with disabilities. From farm to fulfillment, your daily boost supports local jobs, stronger communities, and a more resilient American supply chain.

FAQs

How do I prepare it?

Heat 8 oz of water to 180–195°F. Steep for 6–7 minutes. Drink it hot, refrigerate it, or pour over ice. Add honey or lemon, or drink it straight.

Goldholly’s low tannin content means it won’t turn bitter even if you steep it longer.

How much caffeine is in a cup?

Each teabag contains ~30mg of caffeine, plus theacrine and theobromine for sustained, jitter-free energy. We recommend 1–3 teabags per cup:

  • 1 teabag (~30mg): Improved focus
  • 2 teabags (~60mg): All-day energy
  • 3 teabags (~90mg): Peak performance

What do the different flavors taste like?

All three flavors of Goldholly come from the same plant, organic yaupon holly, roasted to different levels to bring out different taste profiles:

  • Original: Bright + Crisp. Floral, naturally sweet, clean finish.
  • Bold: Rich + Toasted. Full-bodied with warm toasted depth.
  • Mellow: Malted + Earthy. Smooth warmth, earthy depth, grounding character.

How does Goldholly support biodiversity and American ecosystems?

We dedicate each roast in honor of a threatened species that calls yaupon’s heartland home—a nod to yaupon’s role as a resilient native plant that helps keep American ecosystems strong.

  • Original: Texas Ocelot
  • Bold: Carolina Red Wolf
  • Mellow: Florida Panther

This connection highlights our commitment to healthier ecosystems and livelihoods.

What type of teabags do we use?

We use simple, plant-based pillow-style teabags with no strings, no tags, and no staples. Our teabags are USDA-Organic Certified and made in an SQF Level II facility.

This minimalist design isn’t just better for brewing; it also cuts down on excess materials, making our teabags fully biodegradable and lighter on the planet. That means less waste and more pure yaupon in every cup.

Are there any other ingredients?

No. Goldholly is crafted from USDA Certified Organic yaupon holly—nothing else.

Can I drink it every day?
