I’ve bought some yaupon tea bags before. It was actually pretty good. I like black tea, and don’t like coffee though, so people expecting a coffee taste may not like it. It’s very comparable to black tea, IMO. I also have a yaupon bush in my yard, but never tried processing and ingesting it.
How does it taste?
it makes a nice tea. a local company in my area sells it at farmers markets. https://lostpinesyaupontea.com/
I’ve actually never tried it, but, it’s described as pleasant. You have to roast the stems and leaves.

I grow it, but I’ve only drank it once. It’s not too different from Yerba Maté. Which is to say -it tastes like an herbal tea made of holly leaves.
Eugh, maté is an acquired taste that I can’t acquire
