Rise Yaupon: Naturally Caffeinated, Tannin-Free Tea with Health Benefits & Local Impact
We were so flattered to connect with Shirley Ju - and she wrote such a tremendous article on our local tea business! If you haven't seen it, check it out here:
See a small excerpt:
From the outset we [at Rise Yaupon] believed that tea can change lives:
-For customers: We want to make a tea that has tremendous health benefits but still tastes great.
-For employees: We employ local people looking to improve their lives. We hire second-chance employees as our tea harvesters and also have neurodivergent, physically and mentally handicapped individuals, and seniors looking for community as key members of our production team. We also have a fabulous job training program for entry-level workers.
-For our community: $1 from EVERY retail unit sold is donated to a local charity, mostly to help feed homeless children in our county.
Drink tea. Be healthy. Do good.
