Soursap - weird name for a fruit right? Well they've been searching for a more marketable name since 1951 when an agricultural professor in Puerto Rico decided the oddly named fruit needed some help. (To date however, no new name has been chosen!) Beyond Puerto Rico, the soursap tree has been harvested in the Caribbean since at least 1526 when Spanish explorers first took note of the large fruits. And when we say large, we mean large. The weight of a ripe soursap is generally in the range of 10-15 lbs! Plus, the outer skin of the fruit is covered in spikes that make it look something like the skin of a blowfish - yikes! Luckily, the inside of the fruit is pulpy and juicy with a pleasantly sweet acidic flavor. This unique fruit blends magnificently with our high grown Ceylon so go ahead, brew a pot, and get creative. (Read: think up a new name!)

Brewing Hot
Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.Brewing Cold
(to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!Subscribe to our newsletter and always be the first to hear about what is happening.
