Rise Yaupon Classic Yaupon Holly Tea 20 Tea Bags — 100% American-Harvested, Naturally Caffeinated Smooth Flavor

Rise Yaupon America's Classic Yaupon Holly Tea is a 20-bag box of 100% Yaupon Holly herbal tea that delivers natural, green-tea-level caffeine with a smooth, non-bitter flavor.

Grown and processed in Florida, this American-harvested yaupon offers a rare domestic alternative to imported caffeinated botanicals. The Classic blend highlights yaupon's naturally occurring caffeine and light, tea-like profile while remaining low in tannins so it won’t turn bitter even with longer steep times. The small-box format—1.06 oz total—contains 20 convenient tea bags, making it easy to brew at home, at work, or while traveling.

What does "never bitter" mean for my daily cup?

"Never bitter" refers to yaupon’s low tannin content, which keeps the brew smooth across different temperatures and steep durations. You can steep for longer without astringency, and many people enjoy it plain without sweeteners. It’s forgiving for both new tea drinkers and those who prefer adjustable strength.

• Low tannins reduce astringency even with extended steeping.
• Flavor stays consistent hot or cold—suitable for iced tea.
• Enjoyable without sugar, honey, or milk for a cleaner taste.

How much caffeine does Rise Yaupon Classic contain?

Rise Yaupon contains naturally occurring caffeine comparable to a typical cup of green tea, providing a gentle, focused boost. Because it’s a botanical native to North America, the caffeine comes in a balanced matrix with polyphenols and theobromine. If you’re sensitive to stimulants, try a shorter steep or half-bag infusion to tailor the effect.

• Caffeine similar to green tea—milder than coffee.
• Contains polyphenols and theobromine for a rounded experience.
• Adjust steep time or bag quantity to control strength.

How should I brew and enjoy these 20 tea bags?

Brewing is simple: steep one tea bag in hot water for 3–5 minutes for a standard cup, or steep longer for a stronger profile without bitterness. For iced tea, double-brew and chill or cold-brew overnight for a smooth, refreshing pitcher. Tea bags are portioned for convenience and consistent flavor, whether you’re brewing one cup or several.

• Hot brew: 3–5 minutes for a balanced cup, longer for stronger taste.
• Iced or cold-brew: double-brew or steep overnight for smooth cold tea.
• Single-bag portions make travel and office brewing effortless.
