Fresh, creamy and gluten free Pralines made by KatySweet Confectioners is something that everyone can enjoy. It was founded in 1996 by “Kay Carlton” with a recipe passed down from her Cherokee grandmother to her mother to her. She combined her love for business and love for candy. She spent several years developing the recipe for the commercial market without sacrificing the homemade taste. Her pralines are some of the few natural products on the candy market today. When you bite into one of the “Creamy Original Pralines”, you will taste the finest ingredients and the care that goes into making every piece. She’s using a two-kettle method to achieve a creamy praline where you'll never get a dry and gritty taste. KatySweet candy is still made to order, so it's always fresh!

Born out of desire to rediscover the lost American resources of yaupon tea and under-served Texans, Cat Spring Tea sustainably harvests “Yaupon”, the only caffeinated plant native to America, while creating second chance employment opportunities. Although enjoyed for centuries by Native Americans and a powerful source of jitter free energy and antioxidants, the use of the tea plant has been forgotten. With harvesting, processing, and packaging all done by hand, the yaupon tea making process requires a large amount of skilled and unskilled labor. Cat Spring Tea creates second chance employment job positions, amplifying the message that, although overlooked, our people and our product have great value. Cat Spring Tea collaborates with Texas organizations that offer support for individuals fighting poverty, previous incarcerations, addictions, disability, and other personal obstacles.
