By the mid-1800s, yaupon’s popularity in the US further declined as it became associated with poor, rural communities who could not afford to import traditional Chinese tea. The plant's intimate connection to Native American communities also diminished, as tribes were either wiped out or relocated to regions where yaupon didn’t grow. While yaupon ceremonies have persisted within some Native American tribes such as the Cherokee, and the beverage maintained popularity along isolated coastal areas in North Carolina, the tea became largely forgotten in the United States by the 1860s where it grew incognito for nearly 150 years.

Setting in my Lazy Boy and looking west to the edge of our property line, at a distance I see a plant with red berries that looks like this, and we have a couple east of that by our street.

What is interesting, the deer don't eat it or the berries, and the seasonal robins don't eat the berries.
