✨ Description

Soursop Leaf, known scientifically as Annona muricata, is a cherished Caribbean and tropical herbal remedy celebrated for its calming, immune-supportive, and detoxifying properties.
Harvested from organically grown trees in Sri Lanka, these leaves are coarse-cut for easy brewing, naturally air-dried, and certified USDA Organic and Kosher.

While the Soursop fruit is loved for its tangy sweetness and refreshing smoothies, the leaves have long been used in Caribbean households as a bedtime tea, especially for children or those dealing with stress, tension, or restlessness. Its mild flavor and soothing aroma make it a nightly ritual for peace and balance.

Modern studies have explored its potential anti-cancer and antioxidant benefits, revealing bioactive compounds that may help support healthy cell function and immune strength. Though more research is needed, traditional use continues to affirm what generations already knew — Soursop Leaf is nature’s gentle guardian for relaxation and renewal.

🌻 A Note from the Herbalist

Soursop Leaf is a gentle reminder that calm is a choice — one sip at a time.
It’s my favorite evening tea for families, especially for those who need to wind down, ease tension, or quiet anxious thoughts after long days.
In the Caribbean, this tea is a household remedy passed down through generations — and now, it continues that legacy of peace.

“Rest is medicine. Calm is sacred.”
