Mlesna Green Tea Soursop is a loose-leaf Ceylon green tea blended with soursop extracts, packed in a 500g flat-bottom resealable foil bag. The two ingredients named on the packet are pure Ceylon green tea and soursop extracts — nothing more is added. It is manufactured and packed in Sri Lanka by Mlesna (Ceylon) Ltd, a Colombo-based tea house founded in 1983 and today one of the country's most widely exported tea brands.
Ceylon green tea has a character of its own — lighter and grassier than its black-tea counterpart, with a clean finish that comes from the island's high-altitude growing conditions. The soursop extract brings a tropical counterpoint: the fruit, native to the Americas and widely grown across Asia, carries a flavour that sits somewhere between pineapple and pear, distinctly tangy with a sweet edge. Together, the two produce a cup that is more aromatic and fruit-forward than a plain green tea, without losing the underlying grassy freshness of the Ceylon leaf.
The 500g format is loose leaf, intended for those who brew by the spoonful rather than by the bag. The resealable foil bag protects the leaf between uses and makes the quantity practical for regular drinkers or households that prefer to decant into a caddy. The pack carries a Best Before date of three years from manufacture, giving plenty of time to work through the supply at a relaxed pace.
Mlesna's catalogue runs to more than 3,500 products and the company has collected over 80 international awards across its four decades of operation, including nine World Star awards from the World Packaging Organisation for packaging excellence. This tea is exported to more than 50 countries, which means the format and quality are calibrated for an international buyer rather than a local one. The pack is sealed and labelled to the standard of the company's export range.
