Soursop

One of the things I enjoy most about tea is the aroma. But not all teas have distinct smells, and sometimes I want a 'tasteless' tea. For example, when I brew green tea to cool it down and take with me on a bike ride. So, I was tasting the smell of every tea jar in my house to find the finest aroma. And I found it - Pi Lo Chun from Adagio Teas. My friend recommended to add some Soursop tea to add a flavor. I really liked the smell of soursop and I decided to do some research on that.

So, soursop or Annona muricata is a tropical fruit native to the Caribbean and South Africa. It's also called guanabana - I heard this name before! The fruit is used to make ice-cream, smoothies and drinks. But to make the soursop tea, you actually need the essence, which possesses diuretic quality. Well, it's good for your health, especially, on a hot day.

If you want to buy soursop tea, you can find it on Amazon, as almost anything else. The soursop tea has too much of a flavor to me, so I prefer to add just a touch to some tasteless green or white tea. The best thing is that it keeps the fragrance even when the drink is ice-cold. Perfect for the summer time!
