Yaupon tea.

Anyone drink this stuff? It is the only caffeinated beverage made from plants grown in America. Its made from leaves from a specific holly plant.

It has no tannins so it's not bitter like regular tea.

I've had a few teas, but that one is new to me

I've considered trying it as my property is overrun with the stuff.

Let us know how it goes.

I don't know anything about foraging it, but I did read the berries are poisonous.

I bought some and tried it. I really like it a lot. You can use the same bag several times. It doesn't get bitter no matter how long you brew it

I'm tired of coffee, sick of soda and don't enjoy english or green tea. So this tea is a blessing.

The fact that is American is a bonus.
