What are soursop leaves?

Soursop leaves come from the soursop tree (Annona muricata), a tropical evergreen also known as graviola, guanabana, or guyabano. The leaves are mid-green and lance-shaped, with a faint herbal scent when fresh. Across Ghana, the Caribbean, and Latin America they have been brewed as a tea for generations. The infusion is caffeine-free and tastes delicate and slightly floral, somewhere between a light green tea and chamomile.

Every batch is dried whole, not crushed, so you can see exactly what is in your cup before you brew.

How to brew soursop tea

Rinse two or three leaves under cold water, place them in a teapot or large mug, then pour over freshly boiled water, about 250 to 300ml for a single cup. Cover and steep for five to ten minutes. Strain and enjoy. Brewing a full litre or more? Use three to five leaves. For a fuller walkthrough see our beginner's guide to soursop tea, or try one of our five tea recipes including Caribbean-spiced and iced versions.

From tree to pouch

Every pouch we ship goes through these four stages in Ghana. No machines, no shortcuts, nothing blended in.

Storage

Sealed and stored away from heat and light, twelve months or more. Keep the pouch in a cool, dry cupboard, not the fridge and not in direct sunlight. See our full storage guide for the common mistakes to avoid.

Single-origin sourcing

Quality starts with sourcing. Our leaves come from one trusted farm in Ghana, the same farm harvest after harvest, and our founder visited the drying racks before launching Soursoply. We work directly with the same people who pick and dry the leaves, with no middle layer between the farm and the pouch. The leaves are kept whole, not crushed, so you can see exactly what you are brewing. Pure soursop tea, nothing else. For the longer story, see our guide to where soursop grows.

FAQ

What is the difference between soursop leaves and graviola leaves? They are the same thing, just different names for leaves of the same plant (Annona muricata). Graviola is the botanical name often used in herbal tea blends, and soursop is the more common name in the Caribbean and UK.

Which size should I choose? The 10g simple pack is the small starter size, around seven to ten mugs, if you want to try the tea before committing to a pouch. UK delivery is included in its price. The 50g holds 100 or more leaves and the 100g holds 200 or more, both vacuum-sealed inside a resealable pouch so you can reseal between brews.

How many leaves do I use per cup? Two or three whole leaves for a 250 to 300ml mug. Three to four for a stronger cup, or three to five for a full litre.

What does soursop tea taste like? Light, slightly floral, somewhere between green tea and chamomile. Not bitter when brewed properly. For a fuller description, see our taste guide.

Are your leaves caffeine-free? Yes. Soursop leaves contain no caffeine.

How often can you drink soursop tea? There is no set amount and we do not recommend one. It is caffeine-free, so caffeine is not a factor in when you have it. Most people simply treat it as an everyday cup. See our full guide for the patterns people describe.

Where does the soursop come from? One trusted farm in Ghana, the same farm harvest after harvest, for both the leaves and the fresh fruit. Single-origin, never blended. See our sourcing story for the detail.

Where can I buy soursop leaves in the UK? Right here. Whole dried soursop leaves ship across the UK on a tracked 48 hour service, with tracked delivery to Europe and the United States and a standard international service elsewhere. For the wider picture, see our where to buy soursop guide.
