What is Liquorice Root Tea

This herbal beverage derived from the roots of the liquorice plant, scientifically known as Glycyrrhiza glabra. Native to Western Asia and Southern Europe, this perennial plant boasts a history that spans millennia. The plant’s roots are harvested to produce this fragrant tea that has been appreciated across cultures and time for its distinct flavour and medicinal properties.

The history of liquorice root is rich and diverse. Ancient Egyptians revered it for its therapeutic benefits, often using it in traditional medicines. This usage was later adopted by the Greeks and Romans, and the plant was highly valued throughout the Middle Ages for its health-boosting properties.

Today, it continues to be celebrated for its health benefits and unique flavour profile, encapsulated in our Liquorice Root Herbal Tea.
