Our Story
Archeological records indicate that Native Americans began drinking Yaupon tea over 8,000 years ago in a place we now call Florida. They had developed an extensive tea trade over 500 years before Europeans even arrived to North America. There are indications that the trade route extended as far as Mexico, where scientist discovered that the Mayans were combining cacao with yaupon to create a sacred ceremonial drink. Indigenous people in the southeast region of the United States drank Yaupon tea to cleanse and purify; not only their body, but their minds as well. This tea was known to provide clarity and energy to whomever consumed it.
