Welcome to The Yauponeer Blog!
A space where we discuss anything and everything yaupon related
Incentives for Change
Here at Yaupon Tea Co. we have a strong belief in community-based, grassroots change. That’s why we are very excited to officially announce our pilot community yaupon supplier program, which will enable a wide variety of land stewards (farmers, landowners, and land managers) to benefit both financially and ecologically from the sustainable management and harvesting of yaupon holly, North America’s only native source of caffeine!
Find out more below
Background
Although most have never heard of it, the US has its very own source of caffeine. Here’s why we all need to start drinking it.
Its called Yaupon (yow-pon), and it was once considered sacred and consumed daily by the indigenous peoples and early settlers that used to live within its native range here in the southeastern US. Compared to coffee or green tea, it contains almost zero bitterness, at least 10x the antioxidants at a fraction of the carbon footprint, plus specialized molecules to help counteract the negative side-effects of caffeine intake.
More so, its ecological presence is now thought to provide a wide variety of important ecosystem services like improved water quality, soil health, carbon sequestration, and increased biodiversity thanks to its unique growth structure and high tolerance to environmental stressors.
Despite all this, it is largely considered a nuisance here in the southeast and is known to increase fire risk and decrease biodiversity when poorly managed. That’s why we at Yaupon Tea Co. aim to take advantage of this unique situation by incentivizing community-based ecological regeneration using yaupon holly by providing financial rewards and sustainable management solutions to our network of yaupon suppliers!
But how?!
Well, its radically simple.
- We help to properly I.D. known sources of native Yaupon Holly and examine its ecological significance (with the help of our partners and GIS habitat tool)
- If specific conditions are met, a sustainable yaupon management plan is created between Yaupon Tea Co. and the supplier, and the yaupon is then routinely monitored and harvested to maximize growth and positive ecological impact (Further utilizing GIS tool + verifiable ground-truthed data)
- Suppliers then receive continuous financial rewards based on the quantity/quality of yaupon they provide to Yaupon Tea Co. for sale + the value of the associated ecosystem services provided through sustainable Yaupon Holly management*
Why bother?
Let me tell you a few important reasons.
By using a decentralized supply model like this, it provides us with many benefits compared to a fully centralized model, some of which are:
- Much larger degree of flexibility and thus resiliency in our overall yaupon supply, ensuring we can always reduce our footprint and stay supplied no matter the circumstances
- Community-based revenue model that maximizes both our local financial and ecological impact, ensuring we can make the largest impact possible for both people and the environment
- A continuous rewards system that creates a positive feedback loop by encouraging land stewards to continue supplying yaupon for continued and growing financial and ecological benefits, further benefitting our land and strengthening our local communities
Take Aways
This innovative and truly circular business model allows us to maximize our social and ecological impact by leveraging the power of community-based ecological regeneration by providing sustainable passive income strategies for a variety of land stewards. This can be anyone from a small landowner with a couple of yaupon plants to large farms or management areas with many acres of yaupon, or anything in between!
More so, by simply supporting Yaupon Tea Co. and drinking yaupon tea, you are directly supporting the growth and development of our radically sustainable and equitable model for ecological regeneration. That’s why we can proudly say that every sip of our yaupon tea goes towards restoring native habitats and ecosystems right here in our own backyard.
So, if your a land steward interested in earning sustainable rewards by becoming a community yaupon supplier, contact us today! Feel free to send us a message on our website, or contact us directly. We can’t wait to start working with you!
To greener pastures,
