Dalgety Pure Soursop, 18 Tea Bags 40g
Soursop leaf carries some of the most aggressive unproven health mythology of any botanical online, and I will say plainly: I make no claims for it whatsoever, ignore the "super plant" and tonic language entirely. As a cup it is mild, soft and herbaceous, closer to a gentle light green than anything fruity, smooth and easy but not bold. Where this beats the Tropical Sun version is focus: Dalgety is a Caribbean herbal specialist with a real founder, Mark Dalgety, behind it, which is a genuine difference. Caffeine-free. Buy it for honest curiosity and the sourcing, never for what the internet claims soursop does.
Dalgety Pure Soursop, in brief.
Dalgety Pure Soursop is a single ingredient herbal infusion crafted from naturally dried Annona muricata leaves, the tropical leaf known across the Caribbean as graviola or guanabana. There is no green or black tea base, no fruit pulp, no flavourings, just the leaf itself, slow dried at low temperatures to protect the delicate sweet floral character that distinguishes the cup. Caffeine free, gentle on the palate, designed as a daily driver botanical rather than an occasional treat.
The cup pours pale straw gold with a subtle haze from the natural plant oils. Aroma is delicate and tropical, fresh cut greenery with a soft sweet floral underlay that reads more like white tea than fruit. Mouthfeel is light and clean, with no astringency or bitterness even at the recommended 7-minute steep. The finish lingers briefly with a soft sweet grass note before clearing the palate completely.
Dalgety is a Caribbean herbal tea company founded in the UK in 1993 by Mark Dalgety, a Guyanese-born chemical engineer. The brand says it sources from small farmers across the Caribbean, West Africa and Asia, and packaging formats vary; follow the current pack and local disposal guidance.
Best brewed at 90 to 100 degrees Celsius for 5 to 7 minutes, longer than tea leaf infusions because soursop leaf is denser and releases its aromatic compounds slowly. Drink plain to taste the leaf honestly, or add a thin lemon slice to lift the sweet floral notes. Excellent cold brewed overnight in the fridge for a markedly smoother summer cup.
The defining product for the Dalgety lineup and the foundational anchor of Caribbean wellness in a single ingredient. Pairs naturally with light tropical food, sushi, sashimi, coconut rice and grilled fish, and works particularly well as a closing cup at the end of a heavier meal because the cleanness clears spice and fat.
Dalgety Pure Soursop Herbal Infusion the foundational anchor of the Dalgety wellness lineup, this single ingredient tea is crafted from 100 percent naturally dried Soursop leaves. Celebrated in Caribbean and West African traditions as a powerful super plant, each tea bag provides a clean and uncluttered way to enjoy the authentic benefits of the graviola plant. The leaves are slowly dried to protect their natural character and nutritional density, making it the perfect choice for an individual who views their daily everyday ritual as a vital component of a productive 2026 lifestyle.

-
Finish: Best savoured plain to highlight the pure tropical notes although a touch of honey can enhance the natural sweetness.

The Chilled Soursop Floral Ritual

The Chill: Allow the liquor to cool before pouring over a tall glass filled with large ice cubes.
