Starwest BotanicalsOrganic Red Raspberry Leaf Tea [4 Ounce Bag] Loose Cut & Sifted Raspberry Leaves in Bulk

Good taste and great value! Would reorder when needed.

If you want raspberry tea for the flavor this is not for you but if you are looking for medicinal grade raspberry leaf this is the best! Raspberry leaf tea doesn't taste like raspberries at all! This has a mild herb flavor that I wouldn't fool with if I only drank it for the taste. Red raspberry is especially good for the female system and helpful during pregnancy for a number of reasons but it is safe for everyone. (unless you happen to be allergic, which I've never heard of before but who knows?) The first time I harvested my own raspberry leaves I through them out after they were dried because I thought they looked moldy. I have since learned that this is just the look of dried raspberry leaves! When it is dried it is still somewhat soft instead of crunchy like most dried herbs and it clumps together. This is a very mild tea and should be steeped like white or green tea: heat water to 175 degrees F and use 1 1/2 teaspoons for every 8oz of water. Steep for 2-4 minutes according to taste. I like to sweeten mine with a little honey. As with most herbal teas, it doesn't cream well.

I use this as a cheaper alternative to Mare Magic. It works great!

The tea came in a silver, resealable bag. It is bright green, fluffy, and very fresh-smelling. After steeping, the leaves turn a dark green; they are large enough to not come through my tea infuser. Taste is very fresh and excellent with just a bit of honey added. There are a few twigs here and there, but nothing longer than a couple of inches or so. I shouldn't need to buy this tea again for a long, long time - this bag will make hundreds of cups of tea if 1-2 teaspoons are used per cup. Buying this much tea in pre-bagged form would be $60+, so the big bag is 25 cents on the dollar!

Absolutely love that I purchased this! I am seven months pregnant and it has really helped so far with swelling and improving my sleep. I'm also looking forward to the benefits during labor and after for breastfeeding. I will definitely come back to my review in a few months to update. I usually drink 2 cups a day one in the morning then again in the evening. The only draw back that I can think of is that my stool is a bit more loose than normal (Sorry for too much info), but that might bother some people. Anyways its a great loose leaf tea and it comes with plenty in it, though I might have to purchase again to last me throughout the whole third trimester and beyond, but I'm more than happy to! If you'd like to start during the first or second trimester my midwife said 1 cup a day is suitable then change to 2-3 cups during the third. I will probably start 3 cups once I reach 32 weeks.

These are FRESH, FRESH, FRESH! I feed these to my horses once a day. They enjoy the taste of these leaves much more than other leaves I have used. The aroma is pleasant as well.The one complain I have is that there are sometimes small, dense sticks from the raspberry bushes in the leaf mixture. Since I feed such small amounts (about a 50 cent piece in size per horse), it isn't a bit deal for me, however, it may definitely be a concern for other people feeding it in bulk. Horses (and people) could easily damage their mouth and throat if they accidentally ingest one of these pokey thick sticks. It is great they are so natural, but I am a little surprised at the lack of processing they go through before being shipped to the customer. For the price though, beggers can't be choosers!

I bought this tea on a whim after seeing a few tiktoks that it's supposed to help with period pain. I drank this stuff about 5 days a week for 6 weeks. My last period was the first time since I was 12 years old I didn't need Midol. I'm 35. I was blown away. I was at a level 2 pain for a few hours and then done.I also bled less. I mostly just shed the tissue of the lining. Hardly any blood. I was changing my pad for hygiene, not because it was saturated. I cannot believe what a life changer this has been.$20 bucks worth of tea has saved me money in pads and drugs. And this tea is going to last for a LONG time. There's so much of it. Chef's kiss. Who cares what it tastes like?

I use this in place of mare magic and there isn’t a difference I can tell. It has the same effect without the price tag. Her mare was a brood mare at some point and this definitely helps keep her cycle in check. She is no longer as messy as she was. Definitely will continue to use. It’s better quality than some others I have tried and I have not found anything in it that doesn’t belong

This is wonderful Tea, comes in a big bag, clean and sifted, makes a yummy tea.

I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy and my midwife recommended I drink a couple cups of red raspberry leaf tea daily. It's supposed to be good for my uterus somehow. All the boxed teas marketed for pregnancy were more expensive than this bulk bag. I especially love the reviews people have left stating that this stuff is good for their mares! I definitely feel like a bit of a horse these days. Anyways, I think the tea is great. It tastes fine on its own, even after I steep it extra long as my midwife suggested. I would buy it again, but even after giving a bunch of it away I still have so much that I'm not sure I'll get through it this pregnancy!

I am so happy with this tea. Great price, great flavour. I bought it for my second pregnancy and it is way better than the small boxes of other brands. It's kind of like black tea (but no caffeine) with a hint of raspberry. I've been making a 2L jar with the instructed amount of leaves, pour boiling water over and let it steep overnight. In the morning add some honey and lime to taste to make iced tea, and it's perfect. I don't mind it hot and plain, but iced is sooo good and makes it so easy to drink enough of it through the day.

Feed to my horse to decrease severity heat cycles with one other product. 👍🏻

Huge bag!! Worth every penny! Natural you can tell it was just picked. Will buy again
