Rich Soursop is the fruit blend in the Akbar Treasure Box range: 250g of loose leaf tea in a gift box.
Soursop, known in Sri Lanka as katu anoda, is a tropical fruit with a taste somewhere between pineapple, strawberry and citrus. In this blend its oil flavours a mix of green tea and high and medium-grown Ceylon black tea. Jasmine buds, safflower and petals of marigold and cornflower are added, so the dry leaf is colourful and the cup is fruity first, with a floral finish.
Drink it hot and plain, or lightly sweetened. It also makes a good iced tea: brew, cool completely and pour over ice.
