Historical society members and guests will have an opportunity to tour the Yaupon Brothers American Tea Company just a five-minute drive north of town.

The history of the yaupon holly dates back thousands of years to the indigenous peoples of what is now the southeastern United States. Known as the sacred “black drink,” tribes like the Timucua, Apalachee, Cherokee, and the Creek brewed a strong, concentrated, decoction of roasted yaupon leaves for political and spiritual purification rituals.
Please plan to arrive a few minutes early as the tour begins promptly at 4 p.m. For those who are interested, packets of yaupon tea will be available to purchase after the tour is over.
