fiogf49gjkf0d Tipson Tea, the Sri Lankan brand, has launched a soursop-flavoured green tea under Basilur Tea. It is a citrusy blend of pure Ceylon green tea and soursop, a spiky tropical fruit with a fleshy interior and a flavour reminiscent of strawberries and pineapple.
The tea can be enjoyed either hot or cold. It is available in a 100g leaf tea packet and a double-chamber tea bag variant, comprising 25 tea bags. It will be available through the brand's website, online health stores, chemists and pharmacies and will soon be sold at various small and medium-sized retail stores.
Health benefits
Soursop is renowened for its antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, tumour-fighting, astringent, neurological and sedative properties. It helps fight a host of lifestyle diseases such as insomnia. It is also rich in fibre, which makes it an effective cure for bowel movement difficulties.
The fruit contains annonaceous acetogenins, which kill cancer cells, and iron, which helps prevent anaemia. These compounds also reduce blood pressure and control hypertension. Its leaves relieve pain and inflammation.
The moisture in the fruit fights urinary tract infection (UTI). It contains large quantities of vitamin C, which effectively deals with cold, fever and migraines. In addition, it also offers the benefits of green tea.
On the launch of the new product, Raghav Gupta, director, Indian division, Basilur Tea said, “We are proud to present this one-of-a-kind health-based lifestyle product to combat the ills of a sedentary lifestyle. With Soursop Green Tea, we are bringing the rare and expensive soursop within the reach of the common man. I am very excited to see the response our products will generate.”
