I was disappointed in the appearance of the leaves I received. They were small , brown and broken. There were very few complete leaves. Not sure if Iβll reorder again!
I needed something that helped digestion without tasting medicinalβthis is it. The pouch actually seals tight, so the aroma hits every time I open it. Itβs the only tea my husband and I agree on.
Friends from the islands kept raving, so I finally tried it and felt my shoulders drop. When my stomach gets knotted, I crush a few leaves with ginger and it settles fast. I love it iced with lime on Sundays for a light detox vibe. I bruise the leaves with the back of a spoon and the kitchen smells like my auntβs house. Already lined up another order so I never run out.
Late-night design sessions feel smooth when Iβm sipping this instead of soda. We steep it after dinner and nobody reaches for antacids anymore. Even my old cast-iron kettle keeps them intact, so I get two steeps easily. Itβs become our familyβs βeverything hurts, make teaβ fix.
Granddad used to brew soursop for his blood pressure and this batch hits the same. It gives me something warm during fasting mornings without messing up my routine. Pairing it with cinnamon gives me a cozy, anti-bloat cup at night. I love it iced with lime on Sundays for a light detox vibe. Itβs become our familyβs βeverything hurts, make teaβ fix.

Picked up a bag after church in Brooklyn and it now ends every workday for me. When my stomach gets knotted, I crush a few leaves with ginger and it settles fast. Even my old cast-iron kettle keeps them intact, so I get two steeps easily. I keep a thermos on my desk and sip between meetings when anxiety creeps in. Already lined up another order so I never run out.
