Born out of desire to rediscover the lost American resources of yaupon tea and under-served Texans, Cat Spring Tea sustainably harvests “Yaupon”, the only caffeinated plant native to America, while creating second chance employment opportunities. Although enjoyed for centuries by Native Americans and a powerful source of jitter free energy and antioxidants, the use of the tea plant has been forgotten. With harvesting, processing, and packaging all done by hand, the yaupon tea making process requires a large amount of skilled and unskilled labor. Cat Spring Tea creates second chance employment job positions, amplifying the message that, although overlooked, our people and our product have great value. Cat Spring Tea collaborates with Texas organizations that offer support for individuals fighting poverty, previous incarcerations, addictions, disability, and other personal obstacles.
