Evening Wind-Down: Soursop Warming Tea
Inspired by Soursop leaves available as a produce box add on at KJ Produce in Raleigh, NC
There is something grounding about ending the day with a warm cup in your hands. Across generations, our ancestors understood that rest was not something to earn, it was something to practice.
My friends at KJ Produce understand fresh ingredients are more than food; they are a connection to land, memory, and care. I created the Evening Wind-Down Soursop Warming Tea as an invitation to slow down and experience those ingredients in a new way.
Rooted in Tradition, Made for Today
Soursop leaves have long been prepared as tea throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of West and Central Africa. Traditionally enjoyed in the evening, this infusion marked the transition from the work of the day into the rest of the evening. Cinnamon, vanilla, and honey, ingredients shaped by global trade and the African diaspora, add warmth, aroma, and familiarity, transforming a simple tea into a moment of comfort.
This modern preparation honors those traditions while fitting seamlessly into contemporary routines.
