I am curious if anyone has tried yaupon tea? I have read an article or two and first heard about it on The Texas Bucket List (or maybe it was the Texas Country Reporter)
Anyway, I have been meaning to try it sometimes, especially since there is no shortage of yaupon on our land. I had always heard the story about it being used by the natives in purging rituals, hence the scientific name ilex vomitoria. But supposedly it was given that name due to political reasons and not wanting to hurt the British Tea trade.
Supposedly, the tea is superior to the normal tea we drink. Anyone?
