    This raspberry leaf hails from the Balkan Peninsula, one of the world's largest raspberry producing regions in the world.  The abundantly moist soil of Europe's Pannonian Plain provide fertile growing conditions for large, juicy raspberries and large, healthy raspberry leaves.  

    Raspberry leaf is said to have many health benefits.  The leaves contain B-Group Vitamins, along with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc.  The leaves also contain protective plant compounds such as Tannins, Bioflavonoids and Alkaloids, which tone and relax pelvic and uterine* muscles.  

    *Raspberry leaf can have estrogen-like effects and is not for people under the age of 18.  Because raspberry leaf stimulates uterine contractions and prepares the body for labor and delivery, it is not recommended for women during pregnancy unless otherwise advised by a treating obstetrician.

    Brewing Recommendations

    Serving Size*: 4g (3 tsp) per 150ml purified water.

    Ideal Brewing Vessel: Glass tea pot with infuser; porcelain or ceramic tea pot with strainer; tea sachets

    Western Style Steeping: Boil water to 212F/100C. Steep for 2 minutes before pouring through a strainer into a tea cup or pitcher. Can be infused two more times, extending steeping time with each subsequent brew.

    Sachet Brewing: Add 2-4g (1-2 tsp) to a tea sachet and place inside a mug filled with 212F/100C water. Steep for 2 minutes.

    Cold Brew: Place 4g (2 tsp) in a pitcher and fill with 450ml water. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Use a strainer when serving.

    *Adjust the brew time, temperature and leaf volume to fit your taste: A lower temperature increases vegetal flavor; a shorter brewing time decreases astringency; and a lower volume of leaves reduces bitterness.
