INFORMATION:
While the raspberry bush, (Latin: Rubi Idaei / Rubus Idaeus) is usually recognized for its sweet, antioxidant-rich fruits, the leaves of this plant also have a long history of use. In particular, raspberry leaves have been prized for their therapeutic properties stretching back millennia.
According to the ancient practice of Ayurveda, raspberry leaves are considered to be a cooling herb, and as such are said to assist in reducing inflammation and 'heat' within the body, especially throughout the digestive tract. Raspberry leaves have also been used throughout Europe and by North American Indigenous people for centuries. Both of these communities would infuse the leaves into a soothing tisane that was thought to prepare the womb for childbirth, and to ease gastrointestinal ailments. Raspberry leaves continue to be popular in modern wellness practices as they are rich in antioxidants, tannins, and other life-affirming minerals.
These luxury grade organic raspberry leaves, sourced from carefully vetted growers in Europe's temperate zone, offer an earthy flavour, easy-drinking cup that's perfect any time of day. Enjoy.
