Important: leaf tea is not a medical treatment
Studies of graviola compounds and concentrated extracts do not establish that home-prepared leaf tea prevents or treats cancer, diabetes, or any other disease. No medically validated daily dose of soursop leaf tea has been established, and evidence on frequent or concentrated intake is limited. Check with a healthcare professional before use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, living with a neurological condition, or taking blood-pressure or blood-glucose medication. Do not replace prescribed treatment. For the research and safety context, read Soursop Leaf Tea: Cancer Claims, Research Limits and Safety and Memorial Sloan Kettering's evidence summary.

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. Its traditional use as an infusion does not establish a safe daily intake or a medical benefit.
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.
