Hidden deep beneath the surface of the earth, a plant’s root often goes unseen. Yet the root is not only vital to survival, but for many plants, it is the most valuable part. This certainly holds true for these roots, which have been ground and powdered to produce these fine herbal teas. Brewing roots into tea is a time-honored tradition going back thousands of years, and is found in a variety of cultures on nearly every continent. Some roots were used as food, while others became folk remedies. In both cases, these root teas have been passed down through the centuries to become the fine herbal teas we enjoy today.

Many root teas are similar in flavor, imparting a deep, earthy quality that seems appropriate for their origin. A select few, however, are known for their unexpectedly unique and dynamic flavor. Licorice root is well known for its tart sweetness, which lends itself perfectly to an herbal tea. Both known as potent spices in India, turmeric and ginger root blend together to create a warm and invigorating blend. Sarsaparilla root may sound familiar as the key ingredient to the soft drink that eventually became root beer. Whichever brew you choose, this class of herbal tea offers a fine selection than can be stimulating, satisfying, and even surprising.
