From Mountain Rose Herbs

Raspberry leaves are among the most pleasant-tasting of all the herbal remedies, with a taste much like black tea, without the caffeine. Raspberries were said to have been discovered by the Olympian gods themselves while searching for berries on Mount Ida. Raspberries are indigenous to Asia Minor and North America, with the first real records of domestication coming from the writings of Palladius, a Roman agriculturist. By Medieval times it had a great many uses, including the juices which were used in paintings and illuminated manuscripts. King Edward the 1st (1272-1307) was said to be the first to call for mass cultivation of raspberries, whose popularity spread quickly throughout Europe. Teas of raspberry leaves were given to women of the Cherokee, Iroquois, and Mohawk nations in North America, and have earned approval of the authoritative British Herbal Compendium.

Typical Preparations:
Tea. To make raspberry leaf tea, pour 1 cup (240 ml) of boiling water over 1 or 2 teaspoons (3-5 grams) of dried leaf. Close the teapot and allow to stand for 10 minutes, then sweeten to taste. During pregnancy, drink 2 to 3 cups daily. Drink warm.

I drink this mainly for balancing hormones and my Skin. Raspberry Leaf is a really great herb for women. I actually like the taste of this herbal tea quite a bit as well. It’s even better with a little milk and honey. Mountain Rose Herbs buying it in bulk is the cheapest I’ve found it. Occasionally I do also buy the Traditional Medicinal boxed tea bags of it though.

This is a queued tasting note.

Just another mug from back when it was everyone’s least favourite time of the month. Earthy, grassy, a bit sweet. Not bad. I’m learning to like this one more each time I try it.

I love it with honey :P
Instant relief of the bad moments

Gotta agree with you both; although I’ve had some greener oolongs that could give raspberry leaf a run for its money.

Jillian

lol, I never looked at it that way but you’re right.

Indigobloom

ha. I’ve been accused of drinking hemp tea before… while drinking raspberry leaf.

We were busy this weekend with events surrounding the funeral of my husband’s grandma. She lived a good long life and her health had been declining for years so as hard as it was to say goodbye, everyone is happy that she is at peace and no longer suffering. Family flew in from all over the country and we had a beautiful ceremony, then laid flowers on her coffin at the gravesite and had a reception. We had several meals with various family members that we hadn’t seen in a while over the weekend as well. I heard many stories about her life and it was overall a beautiful experience of everyone coming together and saying goodbye.

I’m unwinding with a mup of Mountain Rose Herbs Raspberry Leaf tea tonight. I’ve had it before, but it has been a few years. It’s reminding me of green beans tonight, not quite like canned beans, but more like green beans cooked until they are soft and almost buttery tasting in a way that is similar to canned green beans but still retaining a fresher note.

So good to hear that you and the relatives were able to gather and mark the conclusion of what sounds like a fully successful life journey! Wishing everyone only the happiest of memories!

I agree with the above statements – when a loved one passes on, what a comfort to have loving family time to remember them and to reconnect with each other!
