Soursop leaves come from the Annona muricata tree, also known as graviola, guanabana, or custard apple tree. The leaves are harvested, dried, and preserved for use in teas, herbal remedies, and traditional medicine. Dried soursop leaves retain their green to brownish color and have a mild, slightly bitter taste with earthy notes.
