What does YAUPON mean in Scrabble?
noun
An evergreen holly shrub of the southeastern United States whose leaves can be brewed into a tea.
The yaupon is a bushy holly that grows along the coast from Virginia to Florida and across the Gulf states, and it is the only native North American plant known to carry caffeine. The Indigenous peoples of the region roasted the leaves for a ceremonial drink, and settlers later used it as a substitute for imported tea.
