No more coffee, no more tea from far away; it's the Yaupon life for me (we just say holly tea at home now).I've been awake for a week trying to get through all of my coffee and tea now, just so when I do crash and burn, upon awakening I can get my hands on the HOLLY TEA. Just kidding. It's got gorgeous body, the maple flavor is legit a hint of maple, and you need half the sugar you normally would. The only thing that is going to take some time to get used to is the strange sensation in the back of your throat, do not drink coffee right after this tea, it'll taste too strange.It absolutely tastes like a midpoint between coffee and tea; the robustness of coffee and the back of the mouth feel of coffee with a front of the mouth feel of tea. There's a tingle during and after drinking the tea, and it feels like a 75 mg - 80 mg of caffeine tea. The caffeine hits you about 10 minutes after the cup is empty unless you're a really slow drinker.This is what we'll be growing with, love this stuff. Just beware the little tingle in the throat, and don't drink this if you're allergic to that family of plant species, do a little research.

My husband is a reader/researcher kind a guy. He read something about this Native American tea and couldn’t wait to try it for his perfect afternoon caffeine pick me up. My only negative comment about this tea is that he continues to talk to me about this product how it is the only “Tea” native to North America and about the low amount of caffeine in the tea which is great for an afternoon pick me up when you don’t want to drink a cup of coffee or have regular tea which doesn’t have as much caffeine as his Native American tea does blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. He truly loves it and couldn’t be more happy I’m so glad the Amazon carries this product because it truly is tasty and delicious and I must say I’ve come around to really enjoying a cup of this brewed tea as well so do yourself a favor and jump on board with our native North American tea that we all can enjoy and say proudly it’s from our country USA USA all the way! Am I the only one picture and Sergeant slaughter chanting USA USA during the WWF wrestling match right now? I probably am but still you should buy because it’s delicious

I get this tea for my husband. He's been drinking it for a while. The teabags come in paper pouches. He just opened the last box I got him and tried to get the bag out of the pouch. It's pretty tight at the top and he tore the bag and spilled tea out trying. So I offered to open another one for him. I couldn't get the bag out until I'd torn the pouch down to the bottom, where the string was glued into the pouch. Could you folks be more careful about how you put the bags into the pouches? I've drunk lots of tea with all kinds of wrappings, and I've never seen this kind of thing before.

I absolutely love yapon tea . Really great quality and taste really good. A great alternative to Indian tea and coffee. It also has caffeine and is native to North America. I prefer the dark roast.

Pretty upset about ordering directly from Catspring and this is the condition I receive it in. It was actually torn open with the seal broken…not crushed as if it was damaged in transit. Pretty awful.

I tried yaupon holly tea for the first time during a trip to Asheville. The restaurant promised the tea had more caffeine than coffee, and it was too early to be awake on my vacation. The tea was interesting. That particular tea was a green yaupon. When I got home I did some research and found an article on the NPR website about JennaDee and Abianne and their Cat Spring Tea. These ladies grow the holly in Texas with no pesticides or chemical fertilizers, so your tea is just tea.As for the tea itself, it is delicious. I get the medium roast and the taste is similar to black tea, but with a deep and complex flavor. It is delicious. Yaupon has no tannins, so you can't over-steep it. I brew my morning cup in an 16 oz ceramic travel mug, and one bag steeped for 6 minutes does the trick (I like strong tea). I look forward to this tea so much that I stopped hitting my alarm's snooze button.

I'm sure this is an excellent example of not black tea, but it kinda tastes of pencil shavings and turns my stomach a little bit. Anybody want most of a box of not-tea bags?

This yaupon is truly an authentic flavor that is absolutely delicious! It's a wonderful substitute for coffee and much healthier! The warmth to your heart sensation! Natural caffeine is uplifting not having the crash affect. It's delicious iced too!!!
