🔥 Ideal Brewing Conditions
To unlock the full potential of your Tropical Sun Soursop, specific thermal techniques are required to break down the robust leaf structure.
The Barista Hot Serve
-
Measure: Place one tea bag in your favourite mug or pre warmed cup.
-
Water: Use water that has just boiled (100 degrees Celsius).
-
Steep: Infuse for 3 to 5 minutes. The leaves are robust and take a moment to release their full flavour.
-
Cover: Cover the cup while steeping to keep the volatile oils and aromatics in.
-
Finish: Delicious plain, but a teaspoon of honey enhances the natural musky sweetness perfectly.
The Tropical Cold Brew

-
Steep: Infuse for 10 minutes while covered.
-
Serve: Top up with cold water and ice. This result is a deeply refreshing, hydrating drink that tastes like a “green” spa water for a hot 2026 afternoon.
🫖 Brewing The Perfect Cup of Tropical Sun Soursop, 20 Tea Bags 30g
