Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in April 2026.

Dalgety Soursop and Moringa combines two of the Caribbean's most respected medicinal leaves into a single caffeine free cup. Soursop brings the diaspora's traditional general wellness pedigree; moringa brings the broader nutritional profile. The result is the Caribbean equivalent of a "green smoothie" tea, earthy, leaf forward, requiring honey or lime to balance, but the most nutritionally complete cup in our Caribbean range.

Why combine soursop and moringa

Both leaves are central to Caribbean and African diaspora traditional health practice. Soursop is regarded as a general wellness "cure all"; moringa is regarded as the "miracle tree" with broad nutritional credentials. Combining them produces a single tea with the cultural authority of both.

Practically, the two ingredients balance:

Soursop bitter, sedative leaning, evening friendly.
Moringa vegetal, nutrient dense, neutral on energy.

Together, the cup is more rounded than either alone, soursop's bitterness is softened by moringa's mineral character; moringa's grassiness is given depth by soursop's earthiness.

What's in the bag

Soursop leaves. Dried whole leaves of Annona muricata.
Moringa leaves. Dried whole leaves of Moringa oleifera.

Ratio is typically balanced (50/50) but can vary by batch.

The combined compound profile

Between them the two leaves contribute antioxidant polyphenols, soursop's mild sedative alkaloids, and the trace vitamins and minerals moringa is known for. Two points keep it honest: soursop's annonaceous acetogenins show anti cancer activity only in vitro, with clinical evidence still preliminary and no human treatment claim warranted; and moringa's headline nutrient figures describe the concentrated dried leaf as a food, not a weak infusion in a mug. The blend adds the two ingredients' modest contributions rather than multiplying them, so drink it for cultural ritual and a gentle, gradual benefit rather than as a vitamin substitute. This is general information, not medical advice.

What it tastes like

Earthy, leaf forward, slightly bitter. The most "vegetable" of our Caribbean teas. Honey is the standard sweetener; lime adds brightness; a slice of fresh ginger works. Some drinkers find the cup challenging the first time, give it three or four cups before deciding.

How to brew

1 tea bag per 200ml mug.
Just boiled water (~95°C).
Steep 6-8 minutes. Both leaves benefit from longer extraction.
Sweeten with honey to taste. Add lime, lemon, or fresh ginger to soften and brighten.
Drink hot or iced, both work.

Morning, instead of green tea. The mineral character makes it a substantive morning cup. Caffeine free, so combine with coffee if you need the lift.
Mid afternoon energy lull. Without disrupting evening sleep.
Evening. The mild sedative character (from soursop) makes this evening compatible.
Post workout. Mineral content + antioxidants + zero calories. Cleaner than commercial recovery drinks.

Cautions worth knowing

Pregnancy. Avoid this blend in pregnancy; both soursop and moringa carry pregnancy caveats.
Blood thinners. Both ingredients have theoretical interactions with warfarin. Discuss with GP if on anticoagulants.
Long term heavy consumption. Soursop's epidemiological link to atypical Parkinsonism applies, limit to moderate occasional intake rather than years of daily heavy use.
Cancer treatment. Soursop interactions with chemotherapy compounds are incompletely understood. Discuss with an oncologist before adding it to any cancer treatment regime, and never use it as a substitute for treatment.
General. If pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, ask a pharmacist, GP or midwife rather than relying on a "natural" label. This is general information, not medical advice.

Caffeine

0mg. Both soursop and moringa are naturally caffeine free.

FAQ

Is Soursop and Moringa good for you? Modestly, yes, both leaves contribute polyphenols and trace nutrients. Drink as part of a balanced diet, not as a substitute for vegetables.

What's the difference between this and Pure Soursop? The moringa addition adds nutritional breadth and softens soursop's bitterness. Pure Soursop is the traditional cup; this is the broader profile option.

Can I drink it daily? Occasional to moderate intake (a few cups per week) is fine. Heavy daily long term consumption is not recommended due to soursop's epidemiological concerns.

Is it safe in pregnancy? No, avoid this blend in pregnancy.

Does it taste like medicine? Honest answer: it can if drunk plain. Honey, lime, or ginger transform the cup. Most drinkers come to enjoy it after several cups.

Curator's note: of the Dalgety range, this is the most "complete Caribbean wellness cup", both ingredients pulling their weight, both with respected diaspora traditions, both worth knowing about. Drink it the right way (sweetened, brightened, occasionally) and it's a serious tea. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
