From CatSpring Yaupon

Clean and refreshing, our staple green yaupon celebrates the tranquility of the Pedernales river, that flows over and around huge slabs of limestone, creating a tranquil and safe space in which to relax and recharge. Enjoy it hot or cold brewed: You’ll be relaxed and recharged by the time its vibrant green hue turns earthy brown.

The last of the US-grown teas for the library presentation I did earlier in the month. The one featured at the program was the medium roast, but they put a single teabag of their green and dark roast yaupon into the package, so I’m happy I get to try all three.

I’m surprised how much I like this unroasted variety, as plain yerba mate has never been a favorite for me do to the somewhat tobacco smoke flavor note I get. But I’m not tasting that smoky note in the yaupon. Even unroasted, this has a slight roasted nuts flavor profile to it that I quite like, mixed with a dry hay/green grass and mellow woody notes. Very smooth… It’s hard to say for sure without a mate handy to compare to, but based on my (admittedly faulty) memory, I think I like the yaupon more.

I liked this one too! I still need to try the medium and dark roast I got in their sampler…

Sipdown! (40 | 120)

Really like this one. It has such a nice combination of soft hay, a bit of herbaceousness, sweet honey, and light dried fruit notes. Nice natural sweetness too. There’s a touch of musty minerality as well.

Just yummy, and I’ll definitely have to order a full size of this eventually. :)

I like that their teas are named after places in Texas.

I didn’t even know that, but it is a nice touch!

Pleasant, with some holly taste and a definite ‘green’ taste as well. More reminiscent of yerba mate than the darker roasts, but still very definitely its own distinct thing.

Yum, I ordered the sampler and need to try these! I tend to enjoy yerba mate so I’ll probably like this one.

Received a single tea bag from derk, but mazbe on behalf of White Antlers?
Anyway, this tea is apparently from Yaupon. Never had it before, so I was quite confused what is it. But as it contains a lot of caffeine, I have decided to give it a try!

There weren’t any instructions on the bag, so I searched for the company and found out that it doesn’t matter , so I have used my standard set up, 300 ml / 4-5 minutes.

The flavour is quite hard to describe as it is nothing I had before. It is tasty, teaqueen said pleasantly sour and I have to agree. It was bit aloe sap like, green tea; overall quite common.

But caffeine boost is certainly there, as I was falling asleep during lecture I was taking (Economics of transport companies), but now, hour later I feel filled with energy, which is great while I am going to another night shift this night. Recommended for caffeine boost.

Thank you, no matter who is if originally from — I love trying new things!

That was from me and it was posted to you through the kindness of derk Glad it gave you a boost! : ) Here is their website, in case you are interested in what this tea really is. It’s the only caffeinated plant indigenous to North America. I liked their black tea the best. https://www.catspringtea.com/

I couldn’t help but to pass on those 2 different teabags to you for a taste of Texas :)

White Antlers: I found their webiste by myself, but thanks a lot for this tea. It was pleasant experience! I am curious about second one.
derk: that’s enough — thank you! So I need to travel to Texas as well, apparently :)

Catspring sent me a free single teabag of this blend to try with the rest of my order.

It’s very smooth. At first, it tastes very similar to any nondescript bagged green tea, with a tiny little twinge of pleasant sourness in the aftertaste. The longer I let it steep though, the more it started to remind me of raspberry leaf. It has the same sort of mouthfeel.

What makes this blend special though is the soothing experience of drinking it. There’s something about yaupon that just feels healthy and right. Maybe it’s the way the liquor holds the water temp— yaupon infusions seem to stay warmer longer than regular tea— or maybe it’s the mildness of the flavor.

Unflavored green teas are not my thing personally, so I much prefer Catspring’s Marfa Dark Roast and Lost Maples Medium Roast yaupon options, but this was definitely not bad.
