December harvests on Regenerative Organic Certified yaupon farms just east of Austin throughout the fall and winter seasons. Once harvested, the yaupon leaves are cured and reserved to be roasted and cold-brewed into into nitro cans and kegs year round. The entire brewing and canning process takes place right here in Austin.

Each serving of December Yaupon Nitro Cold Brew contains 150 mg of caffeine. It also contains a number of other natural compounds that benefit the mind and body.

Yaupon is the only plant with natural caffeine native to this continent. It is considered a superfood high in several essential compounds:

quercetin-rutinoside – known to reduce inflammation, reduce allergies and stabilize metabolism

caffeine – you know this one

theobromine – “the chocolate molecule” supporting mood, creativity and the cardiovascular system

theacrine – popular in athletics

polyphenols – also found in plants like cinnamon, turmeric and blueberries with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties

prebiotic fiber – supports healthy digestion

Yaupon is also free of tannins and acids known to cause digestive distress and dental staining.

Due to the full spectrum of stimulating compounds, the energy boost of yaupon has a steadier rise and fall than that of coffee or energy drinks. This means one serving in the morning will last until the afternoon. A second serving in the afternoon will keep you energized until bedtime without the jitters or anxiety.

December Yaupon is grown on multigenerational, Regenerative Organic Certified farms right here in the Coastal Plains of Texas. It requires no chemical inputs or irrigation, making it one of Texas’ most sustainable exports.
