About Organic Licorice Root

Organic Licorice Root comes from the root of the Glycyrrhiza plant, native to parts of Europe and Asia. Licorice root has been used in herbal traditions for thousands of years, valued for its naturally sweet taste and its role as a balancing botanical in complex formulations.

Historically, licorice root was often included in herbal infusions to soften bitter herbs and bring harmony to blended teas. The root is carefully dried and prepared to preserve its natural sweetness and earthy undertones.

When brewed, licorice root produces a smooth, full-bodied infusion with warm sweetness and subtle spice, making it one of the most recognizable flavor-building herbs in traditional tea practices.

Benefits & Wellness Role

Licorice Root is traditionally enjoyed for its balancing qualities and its ability to bring cohesion to herbal blends. Its naturally sweet profile contributes to a comforting and rounded tea experience.

Licorice root is commonly appreciated for:

  • Its naturally sweet, soothing flavor
  • Balancing bitter and robust herbs in blends
  • Supporting seasonal and throat-focused tea rituals
  • Being naturally caffeine-free

Because of its sweetness and intensity, licorice root is often used as a supporting ingredient rather than a dominant one in blended teas.

Brewing Ritual & How to Enjoy

To brew Organic Licorice Root Tea, steep one tea bag in hot water just off the boil for 5–7 minutes. This allows the root’s natural sweetness to fully infuse the cup.

Enjoy licorice root tea when:

  • You enjoy naturally sweet herbal infusions
  • You want a comforting, warming cup
  • You’re exploring traditional herbal flavors
  • You prefer caffeine-free teas with depth

Pro Tips:

  • Blend pairs beautifully with ginger, fennel, and chamomile
  • Enjoy plain to experience its natural sweetness
  • Use shorter steep times for a lighter flavor
