Raspberry leaf tea is a traditional herbal infusion made from the leaves of the red raspberry plant (Rubus idaeus).

Unlike fruit teas made using raspberries, raspberry leaf tea is prepared from the plant's leaves, giving it a mild, earthy flavour rather than a sweet, fruity taste.

At Evergreen, you can explore raspberry leaf herbal teas in a range of formats, including tea bags and loose leaf options.

What Is Red Raspberry Leaf Tea?

Red raspberry leaf tea is made by steeping dried leaves from the red raspberry plant in hot water. The plant is best known for its fruit, but its leaves have also been used in traditional herbal preparations for generations.

Pure raspberry leaf tea is naturally caffeine-free because it doesn't contain leaves from the traditional tea plant.

What Does Raspberry Leaf Tea Taste Like?

Despite its name, raspberry leaf tea doesn't usually taste like raspberries. Instead, it has a mild, slightly earthy, herbaceous flavour that some people compare to traditional black tea, although without the same level of richness. It can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a herbal blend.

Organic Raspberry Leaf Tea

If you prefer organically produced ingredients, organic raspberry leaf tea is made using leaves grown according to certified organic standards.

Organic varieties may be available in both tea bags and loose leaf formats.

Raspberry Leaf Tea Bags & Loose Leaf Tea

Raspberry leaf tea comes in different formats depending on how you prefer to prepare your herbal infusions.

Raspberry leaf tea bags are convenient for everyday use and make it easy to prepare a cup at home or work.

Loose raspberry leaf tea allows you to measure the amount of dried leaves used and prepare your infusion with a tea strainer or teapot.

Both formats can be enjoyed as part of a varied selection of herbal drinks.

Raspberry Leaf Tea & Pregnancy

Raspberry leaf tea has a long history of traditional use in connection with women's health, particularly during the later stages of pregnancy.

However, research into its safety and effectiveness during pregnancy is limited, and there isn't sufficient high-quality evidence to establish that drinking raspberry leaf tea improves labour outcomes.

If you're pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, speak to your midwife or healthcare professional before using raspberry leaf tea or other herbal preparations.
