Heladiv Soursop Flavored Iced Tea Syrup is a tea concentrate in a 750 ml amber glass bottle, made by HVA Foods PLC — the Sri Lankan company that pioneered commercially produced iced tea on the island. The syrup carries the brand's 'TEA FROM PARADISE' tagline and is built around a tea extract base flavoured with a permitted artificial soursop note, giving the finished drink a distinctly tropical character.
The concentrate is made using a tea extraction process that avoids the high temperatures associated with instant tea production, which Heladiv states helps preserve the natural flavour of the tea. The ingredient list is straightforward: tea extract, citric acid (INS330), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (INS466), permitted artificial soursop flavour, and sodium benzoate (INS211) as a preservative. The sugar content is 8.7 g per 100 ml.
Each 750 ml bottle yields approximately 44 glasses. A single serving is 17 ml of syrup diluted to a 119 ml glass — roughly one part syrup to eight or more parts cold water or soda water, adjusted to taste — coming in at 38 kcal per serving. The concentrate format means you control the strength of every glass.
The bottle is best stored away from direct sunlight, in a cool and dry place, and the finished drink is best served chilled. The amber glass keeps out light during storage and the black screw cap reseals securely between uses. HVA Foods operates dedicated tea extraction and iced tea production plants in Sri Lanka, and the Heladiv brand is registered in more than 45 countries, reflecting the scale and consistency behind the product.
