For Your Health
Yaupon contains high levels of vitamins A and C, along with a host of antioxidants. It contains 30% less caffeine than coffee and is similar to Yerba Mate and Guayusa, as they all stem from the same family. Luckily, like these other teas, Yaupon contains theobromine and theophylline, which gives it a steady, non-jittery energy throughout the day. It also lacks tannins, meaning your tea will be less bitter and can steep for much longer than traditional green teas!
