Wake up and smell the Yaupon. Our American Buzz is made from a timeless blend of the three caffeinated hollies for an All-American brew that's sure to put a little spring in your step. We began with Yaupon from a Texas ranch, blending it with rustic, earthy Guayusa holly from Ecuador, Brazilian shade-grown Yerba Mate, and a bright twist of Spearmint from Washington for tang. This is one brew you'll want to drink sitting down. Click here to see all our herbs native to the Americas.
