Frontier Co-op® Bulk Organic 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. Our fresh 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 don't 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. Our 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.
