Soursop Leaves 2 oz, Organic (Hojas de Guanabana, Graviola)

Soursop leaves are the whole dried leaves of the soursop tree, Annona muricata, the tropical evergreen behind the sweet green fruit known across Latin America as guanabana. Each kraft bag holds 2 oz of organic or wildcrafted leaves harvested in Peru. In Spanish the leaves are called hojas de guanabana. This is the loose leaf format, which means you brew them yourself and decide your own strength.

What is inside

Soursop Leaf (Annona muricata). That is the entire ingredient list. One ingredient, nothing added, no fillers, no additives and no chemical mixing agents. The leaves are whole and dried rather than cut or milled, so you can see exactly what you are buying before it ever reaches the cup.

Why whole leaves instead of cut or powdered

A whole dried leaf has far less surface area exposed to air and light than a cut or milled herb, which means less of the leaf is lost between the harvest and your kitchen. You also keep control of the brew. Two leaves gives you a light cup and three gives you a deeper, more earthy one, and nothing stops you steeping a little longer if you want more out of them. Loose leaves also go further per dollar than pre portioned bags.

What it tastes like

Mild and earthy with a light tang, closer to a green herbal cup than to a fruit tea, and naturally caffeine free, so it works late in the evening as easily as first thing. It takes honey, ginger or lemon well if you want to round it out.

Quality and sourcing

Organic or wildcrafted depending on the harvest, grown and gathered in Peru, and packed in a kraft bag. Third party tested, produced in a GMP certified facility, and made in the USA. No fillers, no additives, no flow agents, no artificial anything.

Whole leaves, tea bags, capsules or powder

We sell soursop leaf four ways and they genuinely suit different people. These whole leaves are for anyone who wants to brew loose and control the strength, and they stretch furthest per dollar. If you would rather not measure or strain anything, the tea bags are pre portioned at 2,000 mg each. If you do not want to brew at all, that is the capsule. If you want to stir it into smoothies or food, that is the powder. Same leaf, four formats.
