Yaupon Tea Presentation August 29th 2015

Owner and Founder of Yaupon Tea Company, Lou Thomann, will be offering a lecture on the history, medicinal properties, and cultivation of the only indigenous caffeine producing plant in North America known as Yaupon. This plant is a prolific understory tree that grows all over the Hostel in the Forest property. Yaupon is a very hardy plant that can be wild harvested with minimal impact on the environment. Lou will be offering samples of the finished product; a line of Yaupon based drinks and dried tea under the brand Asi (Ah-see). Please join us as we investigate and celebrate this native plant!
