Leukaupon Tea

Why yaupon? Why not coffee?

Reason #2:

Coffee plants take 3-4 years before they bear fruit.

3-4 years of tending to, watering and fussing with.

Yaupon grows wild in the south east US. Their leaves are ready for the harvesting.

Roasted and ready to be ground up for tea bags

I gathered fresh yaupon leaves yesterday at Faire of Champions to process this week.

This batch will be made into tea bags, plain yaupon and yaupon with mint, that will be available at FoC promotions, the times and dates of which will be announced on their page.

If you want more information about the faire or its events, and to take home some yaupon tea made from the wild grown plants on the faire grounds (hand harvested, hand washed, and hand packaged by the Leukaupon Tea Company) see the Faire of Champions page for more details 😊
