Organic Red Raspberry Leaf, 16 Oz, Bulk Bag - Caffeine-Free Loose Leaf Herb for Tea or DIY Body Care Products

I’ve been using Frontier Organic Red Raspberry Leaf Herbal Supplement (1 lb) for several months now, and it has become a staple in my wellness routine. The leaves are fresh, colorful, has a good smell, aromatic, and brew into a smooth, earthy tea that’s both soothing and flavorful. I appreciate that it’s certified organic, kosher, and non-GMO, ensuring a high-quality product. The 1-pound bulk packaging is not only economical but also convenient for daily use, allowing me to enjoy multiple cups, because of the size, without frequent reordering. Brewing the tea is straightforward—just a tablespoon steeped in hot water yields a delightful beverage. I’ve found it particularly beneficial during my menstrual cycle, as it seems to help alleviate cramps and promote overall comfort. The mild, slightly sweet flavor makes it enjoyable on its own or blended with other herbs. Given its quality and affordability, I highly recommend this product to anyone seeking a natural addition to their health regimen.

I am editing my original review (below) from two years ago, because I've been since diagnosed with endometriosis. It took years and multiple doctors to finally confirm this—I wanted to add this in case it helps someone else struggling with similar issues of short luteal phase, mid-cycle bleeding, fibroids, serious mid cycle pain, etc, that diagnosis might be something to look into if you haven't explored it yet. Diagnosis aside, I stand by my 5-star review of this tea. I continue to drink this (almost always as a cold brew tea, just let it steep overnight) everyday, and it has GREATLY helped with my symptoms, especially mood swings and mid-cycle bleeding. I still take the Vitex but have dropped the DIM. Endometriosis, and indeed, anything hormonal, seems to me to be very different for every person..and what works or doesn't work is different, too. Unfortunately, I tried a lot of different things that didn't work or that only partly helped before finding this. If you struggle with some of these issues, I would give this tea a try. It tastes great and is a relaxing herbal tea at any rate, so you have very little to lose! It has helped me a great deal. Best of luck! ORIGINAL: I love this product. Buying loose leaf in bulk is so much more economical and better tasting than buying the pre-bagged version of RRL, and this is a great organic option. You get a lot - the bag filled my gallon glass storage jar to the brim. The taste is great, and I re-brew the leaves 2-3 times with no real loss in flavor. I started using RRL to address a short luteal phase -- spotting from day 22 and a full period from day 24 was typical for me. Daily use of RRL tea (hot or cold, depending on my mood that day) has helped from the very first cycle. Although I had been taking Vitex and DIM daily as well, RRL is what specifically addressed that too-short luteal phase. Highly recommended.

2x the value and quality of mare magic if you're here for that! Didn't do anything for my mare but that's because it turns out she had an ovarian tumor, so if nothing helps your mare maybe do a uterine scan like I did.. 🫣 Great taste for teas too! High quality & great amount for the price.

I always receive great quality herbs from Frontier. They smell fresh and tastes amazing

This tea isnt super flavorful, but it does help lessen monthly cramps!! I mix a couple flavors in for a better tasting tea. There are a fair number of sticks in it, but that doesnt bother me. Good quality at a fair price. A pound of dried tea is way more than I thought it would be! Bought it for relief from cramps and it is effective if you drink 1 cup a day the week before and 1-2 cups per day the first couple days of the month. Working into my monthly routine for relief. Highly recommend!

So I read reviews that there were plastic bits and other odd bits in the tea mix, this was not the case with the bag I received. I make my tea in large batches so I can have some left over in the fridge for iced tea another day or later that day when I want it. I sifted thru the bag and found nothing abnormal prior to making my batch of tea. I’m normally an avid coffee drinker, but I’m trying to cut back more and also strengthen my uterus for labor which should be taking place in the next 2 1/2 ish months, so this tea fit the bill as a replacement for my afternoon coffees. The taste wasn’t bad like other teas I’ve tried. It was honestly bare-able for me which was nice not having to force myself to drink something I didn’t like. After adding a splash of half and half and a half a tsp of local honey, I was a pretty happy camper. So now I have found my tea. I wish the bag was resealable though and wish it was a little nicer looking to sit on my counter, maybe in a canister of some sort? But I’ll just have to find a good container for it I guess. The price is great, and this bag is definitely bigger than I expected. It will likely last the rest of my pregnancy. So far no issues with taste changing or strength changing as I get further into the bag either which is nice. I make my tea by boiling water in a pan, letting it sit for a minute after I turn the heat off, and then placing a strainer into the water and putting the leaves into the strainer and occasionally stirring. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and then remove the strainer and press the leaves to drain any water out of them into the pan. Then serve and store the remaining tea in the fridge for later. Left overs also reheat well if you don’t care for iced tea.

I used this tea throughout my pregnancy starting at 12 weeks. I personally had a very smooth and very very quick labor experience, and feel like this tea played a HUGE role in that! I used a tea diffuser and drank about 1–3 glasses a day, starting with one glass earlier on and gradually increasing to three toward the end of pregnancy. It was easy to prepare, and I really enjoyed the taste! I will definitely be using this for all of my future pregnancies!

I drink Raspberry Leaf Tea every day so buying the little store bought boxes of tea bags was becoming pretty pricey. I already regularly buy Frontier Co-Op's dried elderberries so I figured I'd give this a try & I have zero regrets! The bag is quite large, I greatly underestimated what 1 pound of raspberry leaf would look like, especially for the price! Just... wow. Upon opening I was hit immediately with the raspberry leaf fragrance.... It was stronger than I expected, probably because I've never smelled a whole pound of it before haha. There was a small amount of branch/twig/stem left over, nothing I was particularly surprised or concerned by though. I simply picked out any twigs/branches/stems I noticed when transferring to jars & making tea (all appeared to be from a raspberry bush, so this again was not a surprise/concern). I went ahead and brewed two cups of tea from frontier co-op & the organic tea bag brand I had leftover to compare the two. The tea bag brand is not loose leaf, so naturally it's a lot finer which resulted in a slightly cloudier end result. Frontier co op had tiny debris from the leaves that my fine strainer didn't catch so i did go ahead and filter it & the other to keep it comparable. They were almost identical, though frontier was definitely stronger (I used the recommended amount for 2 cups for both brands). I wanted to make sure this brand was just as good as the one I was used to, and it is and then some. :) Because my method of brewing the tea left some small debris behind I'll probably invest in proper tea strainers/bags and would recommend the same to anyone else drinking this tea. For the amount you pay & what you get (quantity & quality) for organic raspberry leaf... I really could not be happier! I highly recommend this if you're looking for affordable, high quality, organic raspberry leaf!

This is my 3rd purchase of tea but first from Amazon. First two times I bought it from eBay. This time I noticed price difference off almost 50ors less on Amazon compared to eBay. So purchased here. The delivery takes almost 20+ days as it is an import. How long the entire bag of tea last for me? Almost 5-6months. I use almost 1 tblsp of these leaves and boil it in 1ltr water in slow flame for 15 min. Then let it cool for another hour. Filter it and store in glass bottle and drink entire day (it kinda looks like alcohol so my office colleague ask me often what am I drinking?!? Women generally enquire in debt abt it's benefits) I even give a cup to my mother to drink. Helping here in Menopausal stage. How long am I drinking this? Almost 2 years now. How has this helped me? The reason I started drinking this tea because almost 3 yrs back I started hv very light periods and was not getting periods regularly as I had put on too much weight. I started to freak out after I went to my regular doctor and she said if periods don't resume she will consider suggesting me hormonal injections. This was enough to freak the hell out of me. So I started watching lots of YouTube. And there I came across a video of a married women who was try to have baby bt was not getting regular periods for more than a year. She mentioned that she researched and found red raspberry leaf tea will help. So she started drinking daily and after almost 3 months she got her periods back and she continued to drink religiously. I followed her YouTube channel and found she later conceived naturally and had 4 children. I also read lots of review on Amazon.com who were able to successfully Regulate their periods with this tea. So I purchased this tea. This tea definitely has helped regulating my periods but along with this tea I did the following to lose weight as weight was main issue: 1) I quit eating dinner for almost 3 years now. I do eat sometimes may be once a week but hardly continuously 3 days in a row. This helped me lose 8kgs in a month. Required insane amount of will power but now it's easy as my body has now got completely reset. 2) I bought weighing scale. I weigh my self every 1st of month for past 3 yrs. 3) I started reading about good eating habits it helped instil discipline in myself. 4) If I want to eat anything fried like pakoda etc try to eat it in morning or afternoon. 5) Now I have even started swimming so that helps alot. 6) Boiled eggs are best thing to help periods. 7) I did hit plateau and I still do think I'm atleast 7kgs heavier than my ideal weight but it's long way from where I came. So I dnt fuss much. I rather try to maintain healthy eating habits and walk, swimming atleast 45min everyday. My stats: Female, 30, 66kg, 5.5ft , unmarried, Desk profession, 29-32days period cycle for past 6-8months. When I started drinking this tea: I was 27, 80kg, period cycle of 70-80days worst was when it crossed 100days. This helps but most important thing is mindset. I read more than 20books on diet, culture, lifestyle and body anatomy. I'm sure very happy when my periods arrive! Hard work is paying off. Take care.
