Thanks to our decentralized network of local farmers, land managers, and land owners, our yaupon is 100% sustainably wild-harvested from nature. Don’t worry, we take extra-special precautions to ensure all our products are always safe to consume, and that we are leaving a net positive environmental impact throughout the entire process.

Beyond that, we are actively working with multiple Non-profit Organizations, Universities, and local municipalities to design, study, and implement various bioremediation strategies to naturally remove persistent pollutants commonly found in our air, water, and soil.    

Additionally, all profits from our tea sales are invested back into yaupon education, research, and local restoration projects. This ensures we can make the largest positive impact possible, for both people and the environment.
