Premium Dried Soursop Leaves - Natural Herbal Tea & Wellness Powder

🌿 WHERE YOUR SOURSOP COMES FROM

Our premium soursop leaves are sourced directly from small family farms in Nicaragua's humid tropical regions, specifically the Matagalpa and Jinotega departments where the consistent rainfall and rich alluvial soil create ideal growing conditions for nutrient-rich soursop trees. These evergreen "graviola trees" thrive in Nicaragua's mineral-rich lowland soil, producing leaves with exceptional antioxidant content and bioactive compounds.

Specific Source Locations:

Caribbean Lowland Valleys: Humid tropical climate with year-round moisture
Alluvial Soil Influence: Nutrient-rich soil from river deposits and organic matter
Farm Size: 3-6 hectare family operations with soursop tree orchards
Variety: Annona muricata (traditional graviola/soursop variety)
Growing Method: Organic cultivation without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
