Raspberry Leaf Tea
The raspberry plant (Rubus idaeus) is native to Europe and Northern Asia and isn’t just used for the cultivation of its fruit. Raspberry leaf tea is also made from the plant and is now consumed around the world. The tea is said to be fragrant with a natural flavour.
Raspberry Leaf Tea from Holland & Barrett
Raspberry leaf tea is made from the pale green leaf of the plant. The plant can be described as an upright shrub with perennial roots and biennial canes. It tends to flower in late spring, commonly with 5 white petals. The fruit of the plant are generally produced in the summer or early autumn. The ideal habitat for the raspberry plant to grow is in forests, or in higher altitudes in more southerly locations. Holland & Barrett stocks a gorgeous Heath and Heather Raspberry Leaf Tea, naturally caffeine free. It combines the blend of raspberry leaf with real apple pieces for a delicate tea.
