A few months ago, I was in Austin and met two youpon cold brew makers selling at the farmers markets. Really delicious and smooth. The plant grew wild on many of the hikes I took.

Do you recall which market you went to? I’m curious to try some.

He's talking about Local Leaf. They're at the Mueller Farmers Market on Sundays from 10am-2pm. They're super nice and chatty. They cold brew theres to the caffeine strength of coffee. Come check us out too, Lost Pines Yaupon Tea (http://lostpinesyaupontea.com), we're also at that market. We also do the Downtown (sat 9-1), Lakeline (sat 9-1) and HOPE (sun 11-3) markets. We sell loose leaf, tea bags and brewed tea. Ours is pretty different than Local Leaf. It's closer to green tea in caffeine and tastes a lot like (delicious) iced tea.

I never thought I'd see a vendor of Yaupon at my regular farmer's market(HOPE) on HN!

I'm in the EU, it would be 35€ or something to get a bit of this :)
