Brewing Yaupon

We recommend Yaupon for all coffee and tea brewing methods. Its smooth, gentle profile makes it easy on the palette and the body, whether steeped like tea or brewed as espresso. Diaspora’s roasted Yaupon pairs wonderfully with your preferred milks and flavorings.

 There is much to relearn about preparing Yaupon from harvest to cup. We invite you to join us on this journey, starting with a few accessible brewing options you can easily explore at home.
