CatSpring Yaupon
CatSpring Yaupon is reviving an ancient American tradition by producing yaupon tea, the only naturally caffeinated plant native to North America. Based in Cat Spring, Texas, the company hand-harvests and roasts yaupon holly to create a sustainable, antioxidant-rich alternative to coffee and traditional teas.
Founded by Chickasaw Nation citizen Abianne Falla, CatSpring Yaupon operates on 1,100 acres of regenerative organic certified land, focusing on soil health and native grass restoration. The company also prioritizes social impact through its People First Employment Program, offering flexible job opportunities to individuals exiting the criminal justice system and women overcoming generational poverty. Recognized as a Whole Foods top trend, CatSpring Yaupon is committed to sustainability, cultural heritage, and community empowerment.
