Soursop Leaf Tea (La Mang Cau Xiem), Annona muricata Dried Leaf, Caffeine-Free Mild Earthy Herbal Infusion, 100 gram

Product Specifications

A Mild, Earthy Traditional Cup

Soursop leaf (Annona muricata) — Lá Mãng Cầu Xiêm in Vietnamese, also called graviola or guanábana — comes from the same tropical tree behind the well-known soursop fruit. The leaf makes a mild, earthy, gently bitter cup that’s a familiar, comforting herbal tea in Vietnam. Caffeine-free and easy to enjoy warm or chilled, it’s best simmered to draw out its quiet, leafy character.

Plant & Origin

Soursop is a small evergreen tree in the Annonaceae family, grown across tropical regions for its large green fruit and its leathery aromatic leaves. The whole leaves are dried for a shelf-stable loose tea. This listing is the dried leaf — not fresh leaves, soursop fruit, powder, extract, or a live plant.
