Yaupon Holly · Home Roast

Yaupon Holly · Home Roast

Grown on our land and roasted in small batches.

Yaupon is the only native caffeinated plant in North America and has been brewed as a daily tea in the Southeast for centuries.

This batch was harvested, dried, and slowly roasted to create a smooth, grounding cup with gentle, long-lasting energy.

Limited. Seasonal.

Made when the land offers it.

This is energy that knows how to behave.

Barn Witch Yaupon is crafted from full-sized yaupon holly leaves, gently medium-roasted to create a smooth, nutty tea with natural caffeine that doesn’t spike or crash. The energy is subtle, steady, and long-lasting—supporting focus without overstimulation.

Unlike coffee, yaupon offers clarity without jitters. Unlike many green teas, it has a fuller body and a cleaner finish, with very little bitterness.

The leaves are intentionally kept whole. You simply break them by hand, add them to a tea strainer, and steep. The same leaves can be steeped multiple times, continuing to release flavor and caffeine.

This is a tea for long mornings, thoughtful work, and grounded momentum.
