Hello! It’s been a while since we’ve been active. You may have noticed that we haven’t been around much lately because, after a year of careful reflection, I’ve realized that my true focus is on my mental health work. Selling products just isn’t my passion. At heart, I’m a tea enthusiast and a plant lover, and I’d like to keep it that way.

We still want to engage with our community, so we will soon be transitioning this page into more of a blog format. We plan to continue sharing historical information about Yaupon, uploading digital recipes, creating step-by-step home processing videos, and more. We also want to invite folks to the land this fall for some interactive experiences with our Yaupon trees. Additionally, we will continue traveling around Virginia and beyond to teach others.

Our goal is to educate and inspire our community to build a relationship with Yaupon. A special shout-out to and the for including us in their most recent article. Stay cool, and we’ll be more active soon!

We are super excited to be working with .haki farm! They are growing several local herbs for us and we are so thrilled. This weekend we were able to pick up 12 pounds of lovely tulsi for Holy Sunshine blend.

From winter to the intense heat of summer Yaupon remains resilient here in central Virginia . We have been working with for a few years now testing the resiliency of Yaupon trees from Florida. The trees can handle freezing temperatures well along with intense heat with little to no rain. Yaupon is the crop of the future!

Hey tea friends! We have been quiet on this platform as we spend most of winter resting and regrouping. We have had the pleasure of working with .co on rebranding and it has been such a pleasure. We will launch new teas, a new look, and a new way to interact with our supporters in the spring. Please help us usher in the new by purchasing our teas with old branding on Saturday from 12pm-6pm. We will be steeply discounting all tea. Help sell us out so we don't waste packaging.

Thanks for your continued support.

Hi tea friends! It’s been awhile. We are on holiday sipping tea in pretty places. We will be quiet here for all of February and will pick things back up in March. We will still be fulling online orders. Tastings will resume in March. We hope you are sipping good tea and finding joy where you can. Cheers!

We’re excited to celebrate Native American Heritage Month with you!

Did you know -- November was first recognized as Native American Heritage Month in 1990? The second time was in 1994, and it’s been commemorated annually ever since.

You can recognize this month by joining one of our upcoming programs. Participate in a hands-on class, learn a different side to some of our native plants, get your creative juices flowing, and give your taste buds a treat!
