Red Raspberry Leaf brews a hearty herbal tea with fresh, grassy flavor. As an astringent herb, it has a toning effect on the tissues in the body. Camellia sinensis shares this astringent quality—meaning if you enjoy the mouthfeel of true tea, then Red Raspberry Leaf makes an excellent caffeine-free alternative.
People drink raspberry leaf tea for many reasons. Some herbalists consider it a women's herb, due to its reputation for reducing menstrual and menopausal pain, easing pregnancy, and encouraging lactation. However, anyone can enjoy the other reported benefits: improving reproductive health, soothing digestion, quelling nausea, balancing blood sugar, and clearing acne.
