Our Story

Soursoply started in 2024. The plan was simple: bring the actual plant, whole leaves and fresh fruit, into UK kitchens, with nothing else added.

Soursop has a few names. Caribbean cooks call it soursop. In Brazil it's graviola. In Latin America, guanabana. Botanists call it Annona muricata. All the same tree.

Why we do it ourselves

Most soursop passes through several hands before it reaches a shelf: an aggregator, an exporter, a wholesaler, then a retailer. By the time it arrives, nobody can say which farm it came from or how it was handled. Soursoply works the opposite way. We control every step ourselves. We source, we dry, we select, we seal, we ship. No middlemen, and no mystery about where your order came from.

How we handle the fruit

The fruit is picked to order on the same farm that grows our leaves. We select fruit with no blemishes and leave the rest on the tree, and every fruit is picked at its most unripened state, giving it the longest possible shelf life once it reaches you. From the tree to your door is no more than five days, so it finishes ripening on your counter, not in a warehouse.

Because we manage the harvest ourselves, we also control the size and weight of every order, down to the packaging you want and what you want it to weigh.

Where the leaves come from

Our leaves come from one trusted farm in Ghana, West Africa, the same farm harvest after harvest, in a part of the world where families have been brewing soursop leaf tea for generations. The leaves are dried under our own control, slowly, over about a week and a half at low temperatures, so they keep their colour and character.

Then comes the hand selection. The best leaves are chosen one by one, and anything torn, dull, or below standard never makes it into a batch. The selected leaves are vacuum sealed straight away to lock in freshness, then packaged and imported to the UK in a resealable pouch, with the leaf visible through the front before you break the seal.

How we work with the farm

We buy direct from the farm. No middle layer, no warehouse half-way. That keeps the farm-end of the price honest and the trail short enough to walk in person.

What we sell

Two caffeine-free products, both from Ghana:

• Whole dried soursop leaves, for brewing as tea.
• Fresh soursop fruit, fresh all year round.

Dried soursop leaves ship UK wide on a tracked 48 hour service. Fresh fruit is charged by weight at checkout and is UK delivery only. Dried leaves also ship worldwide with tracked delivery.

For shops, cafés, and grocers who want to stock soursop, see our soursop wholesale tiers. Fresh fruit starts at 25kg and dried leaves at 100 pouches, with bulk tiers running up to a tonne. For wholesale buyers the result of all this control is simple: only the best of each harvest, traceable to the farm and the harvest it came from, consistent month after month, in the weights and packaging you specify.
