Red Raspberry Leaf brews a hearty herbal tea with a fresh, grassy flavor. As an astringent herb, it has a toning effect on the tissues in the body. Camellia sinensis shares this astringent quality, which means 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.
