Did you know Georgia has its own native, caffeine-containing tea plant? Join Oconee Rivers Audubon Society for Ben Long’s presentation, “Tea Making and Tea Spilling: The Story of Yaupon Holly.”

You’ll learn how yaupon holly almost became the tea of choice for Americans—until its reputation was smeared by British tea moguls. Ben will also share how his research at UGA is helping bring this largely forgotten tea back into modern cups. Participants will be invited to sample a pot of freshly brewed yaupon tea.

Meetings are FREE & open to the public!
