Erin

Erin Webster is the passionate founder of The Yo-Pon Tea Co., a local Pensacola business dedicated to sharing the unique benefits of Yaupon tea — North America's only native caffeinated tea plant. Erin combines her background in massage therapy and occupational therapy with a love for holistic wellness and sustainable sourcing.

About The Yo-Pon Tea Co.

At The Yo-Pon Tea Co., Erin and her team regionally harvest wild Yaupon, crafting a variety of premium loose-leaf teas and blends. Offerings include:

• Traditional Roasted Yaupon Tea

• Specialty Blends: Lavender, Elderberry, Hibiscus, Peppermint, Chamomile, and Chocolate Cacao

• Lightly Sweetened Bottled Yaupon Tea: Bottled locally at Big Jerk Soda Co. in Pensacola, featuring simple, all-natural ingredients—Yaupon tea leaves, cane sugar, and lemon—with only 42 calories per bottle.

The Benefits of Yaupon

Yaupon is rich in antioxidants and theobromine, providing a smooth, sustained energy boost without the jitters or crash typically associated with traditional caffeine sources.

Retreat and Event Collaboration

The Yo-Pon Tea Co. is excited to collaborate with Mandala House to offer unique tea experiences, bringing the revitalizing and grounding benefits of Yaupon to retreats and special events.

Erin's mission is to celebrate local, natural wellness traditions while creating meaningful, refreshing experiences for every guest.
