Red Raspberry Leaf

Traditional Women’s Botanical Ally

Rooted in tradition. Made for every season of becoming.

Red Raspberry Leaf has been treasured for generations as one of Western herbalism’s classic women’s herbs. Unlike the sweet raspberry fruit, this infusion is made from the leaf of the raspberry plant, creating a mild, earthy cup with a subtly tannic, tea-like character.

Traditionally associated with menstrual and reproductive wellness, Red Raspberry Leaf has also been enjoyed simply as a nourishing everyday botanical infusion.

From cyclical rituals to moments of transition, this is an old herb with a long story.

About Red Raspberry Leaf

Most people know the raspberry for its fruit.

Herbalists have another relationship with the plant.

The leaves of Rubus idaeus have a long history in European and Western folk herbalism, particularly in preparations created for women.

Its flavor is much less fruity than its name suggests. Red Raspberry Leaf produces a mild, earthy, slightly astringent infusion that can be enjoyed alone or used as a foundation for more complex herbal blends.

And despite the name, your cup won't taste like raspberry candy.

This one is about the leaf.
