Red Raspberry Leaf Cut & Sifted
Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus L.) is a pleasant-tasting, caffeine-free herb commonly used in teas and DIY herbal body care items and products. Red raspberry leaves combine well with other kinds of herbs to provide a flavorful and robust boost to beverages. Raspberry carries tannins that contribute to the slightly-acidic note of this flavorful herb.
Despite what the name would suggest, red raspberry leaves do not taste like raspberry at all. Their flavor is more akin to a fruity, black tea that has a similar flavor to Earl Grey. Red raspberry leaves are sweeter and bolder than leaves used in other teas. Bulgarian farmers remove the young and vibrant leaves from the cane, wash and dry them thoroughly, and process them for a high-quality blend that provides superior flavor.
