Come behind the scenes with us when The Washington Post visited CatSpring, Texas, they captured more than just photos.
They captured the story of yaupon. Of the land, the people, and the purpose behind every cup.
Because this journey has never been about the spotlight. Itโs about honoring a native tradition and the values rooted in it.

๐ Letโs talk about POLLINATORS + BIODIVERSITY ๐ฑ๐ฆ
Did you know that over 75% of global food crops rely on pollinators? Yet their populations are in steep decline due to habitat destruction, pesticide use, and conventional farming.
But thereโs hope. Regenerative agriculture restores biodiversity, welcoming pollinators back to the fields through cover crops, native plants, and diversified ecosystems.
By choosing products from Regenerative Brands, youโre helping rebuild the natural systems that sustain life on Earth.

Iโve been here a while, soaking up the Texas sun. But even I shed a layer now and then.
Somethingโs starting to peel. ๐
I may be stepping out in a fresh lookโbut donโt worry. Iโm still the same spirit. Same grounded strength. Same Yaupon.
Get ready to meet my next chapter.
Still rooted. Still wild.

Iโve always said yauponโs more than a brewโitโs a legacy.
Being awarded the NBJ Stewardship & Sustainability Award? Thatโs a testament to the heart behind every harvest. Weโre honored, humbled, and still just getting started.
In gratitude and growth,
Yaupon ๐ฟ

Soil is the starting point.
Regenerative farming restores life below ground to nourish everything above it.
Not wild like ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฐ๐ดโwild like me: grounded, native, and thriving exactly where Iโm planted. Been sipped for centuries, still unbothered. No bitterness. Just ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ, steady โจjoyfulโจ energy and a little Texas swagger in every cup.
While everyone else is hustling themselves into a ๐ด๐ฑ๐ช๐ณ๐ข๐ญ, Iโm over here brewing joy like itโs my birthright. (Because it is.)
๐ฟ Naturally caffeinated
๐ฟ No jitters, no crashโjust joy
๐ฟ Wild-grown. Woman-founded. Indigenous-owned.
So go aheadโditch the drama. Steep some sanity. And if youโre thirsty for the deeper scoop on why Iโm the tea your nervous systemโs been praying for?

Meet Abianne. She didnโt find meโI found her.
Back in 2011, Texas was cracking dry. The land was hurting. Trees were falling. But me? I was just fine. Quietly thriving, like I always have.
Thatโs when she noticed. A woman with roots of her ownโfourth-generation Texan, Chickasaw Nation citizen, eyes wide open. While others overlooked me, she leaned in. Asked questions. Listened close. And instead of taming me, she chose to walk with me.
Abianne didnโt set out to build a tea company. She set out to honor the land. To revive what was forgotten. To make spaceโfor tradition, for healing, for people who needed a second chance.
And just like that, CatSpring Yaupon was born. Not from trend or hustle, but from reverence. From restoration. From one woman choosing to follow the wild.
Sheโs still here. Still walking that steady path. Still letting me grow the way I was meant to. And Iโm proud to call her mine.
There she wasโ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ coiled high in my yaupon branches, soaking in the stillness like she owned the place (and between us, she kinda does).
Now donโt worryโ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆโ๐ด ๐ด๐ข๐ง๐ฆ. But let me tell you, when a creature like that shows up, itโs not danger youโre seeing. Iอtอโอsอ อaอ อsอiอgอnอ อoอfอ อaอ อtอhอrอiอvอiอnอgอ อeอcอoอsอyอsอtอeอm. Of balance. Of belonging. Of land thatโs healing, slowly and surely, like a song finding its rhythm again.
This is what happens when you ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค. You get surprises. You get beauty. You get lifeโin all its wild, intricate, necessary forms.
So this ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐, letโs remember: restoration isnโt always ๐ต๐ช๐ฅ๐บ. But it is powerful. And when you ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐, she shows you whatโs pอoอsอsอiอbอlอe.
Even if itโs with a snake in the tree.
From the wild heart of Texas,

Hopefully a reintroduction, but meet yauponโAmericaโs only native caffeine. ๐ฟโจ Revered for centuries, forgotten, and now rediscovered, itโs a smooth, sustainable way to fuel your day. Ready to sip on history?

At CatSpring Yaupon, we cultivate and roast farm-fresh yaupon. We like to say โItโs Texan, for teaโ. As the only naturally caffeinated indigenous plant in North America, it was brewed for centuries by Native Americans.
CatSpring Yaupon is committed to sustainable practices in making use of natural resources, personal transformation in our community, and a return to family values.
Weโre returning to pure American goodness.
Weโre sisters and weโre co-founders.
We started harvesting on family land in Cat Spring, TX.
And weโve learned, at the end of the day, sustainability is about more than just the land. Itโs about people, too.
Thatโs one of the reasons we created our people first employment initiative to provide dignified employment opportunities in our underserved communities.
We know the criminal justice system is broken, and our aim is to take a stand against the inequities that this system creates. We work directly with probation officers in our rural community to identify individuals who want their future to look different than their past and hire them as our harvesters. And in our packaging facility, we work with women who have a history of generational poverty.
Thank you for being a part - and wanting to curate a moment for yourself.
