This sampler set brings together three caffeinated teas native to the Americas, yerba maté, guayusa, and roasted yaupon. All three are members of the holly family whose leaves impart a unique brew with no tannins. Each tin contains enough loose-leaf tea to brew about five 8 fl. oz. cups of each.
Yerba maté
A South American staple, this light green beverage has a refreshingly smooth, full-bodied flavor with earthy green accents and notes of freshly cut grass.

Guayusa
Closely related to both yerba maté and yaupon teas, this South American rainforest holly has a slightly floral and grassy aroma and a full-bodied green flavor.
Ingredients: Organic guayusa tea. Contains caffeine.
Medium Roasted Yaupon
The only known North America caffeinate plant, yaupon has an aromatic, smooth and mild flavor with a natural sweetness and subtle caramel notes.
Ingredients: Organic yaupon tea. 100% Regenerative Organic Certified. Contain caffeine.
Brewing instructions:
Steep 1 teaspoon in 8 fl. oz. of boiling water for 3-5 minutes, or until desired strength and flavor.
