A Forgotten Drink That Caffeinated North America for Centuries

I love both coffee and tea. Both caffeine drinks yet they taste nothing like one another. If it's a drink to have with food it has to be tea. For a waker upper it's coffee. At other times it's a toss up. I'd love to try this cassina be a while before we see it in Europe I'd imagine

Since it's a dried leaf similar to tea or mate you can probably get it shipped from the US, though I expect the postage will be somewhat expensive.

Look for "yaupon" or "yaupon tea" as, as the article notes that's how it's called/marketed these days.

Thanks I just found a UK site selling it https://www.ancientpurity.com/yaupon-tea-green-leaf-113g-loo...

Not cheap though but it's just for curiousity sake

Fair dues to you for finding this thread, you guys are on the ball

Actually I came across your (very nice) site first but you don't ship outside N. America unfortunately.

Thanks for the compliment. We do ship outside of N. America and you should have been able to select that as an option. I'm going to have to go take a look see.. I just sent a package to Denmark and Germany.

Fair enough, then I think you need to change the text on your shipping & Returns tab.

There's a small company in Texas that sells it. Maybe they'll ship to Europe. https://www.catspringtea.com/
