If you love the crisp brightness of traditional green tea but want smooth, naturally caffeinated energy without jitters, Pedernales Green Yaupon Tea is the perfect choice. Inspired by the tranquil flow of the Pedernales River, this light roast yaupon tea captures the fresh spirit of Texas Hill Country in every cup.
Wild-harvested from yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) on family land in Cat Spring, Texas, and hand-roasted in small batches, this green roast delivers a clean, refreshing flavor with naturally balanced energy. Each batch is crafted to highlight yaupon’s soft grassy character and smooth, easy-drinking profile.
Unlike traditional green tea, yaupon is naturally low in tannins, meaning no bitterness—even if it’s steeped longer than intended. It can be brewed hot, iced, or cold brewed, and loose leaf allows full flavor control with the ability to re-steep up to four times.
Naturally rich in antioxidants and containing approximately 25mg of caffeine per serving, Pedernales Green provides calm, jitter-free energy for daily rituals.
