Metropolitan Tea Company - Organic Bilberry LeavesAbout this Herbal:
the antioxidants in bilberries, and their leaves, have an affinity with the capillaries of the eyes. Accordingly, consuming them may help improve eyesight and reduce the risk of retinopathy, an eye condition associated with diabetes and high blood pressure. Again, no official medical research backs this claim.
What isn't up for dispute is the fact that bilberries are delicious, packed with vitamin C and as noted above, are rich in antioxidants. As such, these organic, cut bilberry leaves make a great addition to custom tea and herb blends. Sourced from growers selected for their sustainable farming practices and abstinence from chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
