{"title":"Soursop (Graviola) Leaves UK","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat are soursop leaves?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoursop leaves come from the soursop tree (\u003cem\u003eAnnona muricata\u003c\/em\u003e), a tropical evergreen also known as graviola, guanabana, or guyabano. The leaves are mid-green and lance-shaped. Across Ghana, the Caribbean, and Latin America they have been brewed as a tea for generations, two or three whole leaves steeped in just-boiled water for five to ten minutes. The infusion is naturally caffeine-free and tastes delicate and slightly floral, somewhere between a light green tea and chamomile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship dried whole leaves across the UK with free delivery on every order, and worldwide with tracked shipping. Every batch is dried whole, not crushed or powdered into anonymous flakes, so you can see exactly what's in your cup before you brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere ours come from\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur soursop leaves are wildcrafted from small farms in Ghana, particularly across the Volta, Eastern, Ashanti, and Central regions. We work directly with the growers, the same people who pick and dry the leaves, with no middle layer between the farm and the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvest the leaves are slow-dried at low temperatures to keep their colour and character, then hand-inspected before they go into a vacuum-sealed inner pack inside a resealable outer pouch. For the longer story of our sourcing, see our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/where-soursop-grows-in-ghana\"\u003eguide to where soursop grows\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to brew soursop tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe simplest method: rinse two or three whole dried leaves, put them in a teapot or mug, pour over just-boiled water (about 250 to 300ml), cover, and steep for five to ten minutes. Strain and pour. The cup is a soft straw colour, gentle, lightly floral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a full walkthrough, see our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/how-to-brew-soursop-tea\"\u003ebrewing guide\u003c\/a\u003e.
