Graviola, more commonly known as the sour sop has been increasing in popularity as information becomes more accessible to the world. Its numerous medicinal uses and properties including treatment for sleep disorders, bedbugs, fevers, cough etc. make it highly sought after.

Lately, the demand for graviola has increased further as evidence shows it to possess cancer fighting properties!



How to make graviola tea from leaves

  • Pick 2-3 sour sop leaves from the sour sop tree (if you have access to one); the younger leaves are best and have a lighter shade of green as compared to the mature leaves which are normally deeper green in color. 
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of water in a small pot and bring it to a boil.
  • Cut the sour sop leaves into smaller pieces by tearing it apart; each leaf in three or more pieces.
  • Place the gravoila (sour sop) leaves in your tea cup (glass, cup) and pour the boiling water on it. Let it sit for about 30 - 45 minutes.
  • Drink warm or cold; we recommend honey for sweetener as sugar in itself is a carcinogen (cancer causing).
