Licorice tea

What is licorice tea?

Licorice tea is an aromatic tea based on licorice root, extracted from the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra. The characteristic sweetness and full flavor come naturally from the root, giving the tea a unique and well-balanced profile. Licorice tea can be made from black , green and herbal teas, with licorice root and other spices added to create a complex and delicate taste experience.

Popular for its sweet aftertaste and natural calming effect, licorice tea has won the hearts of many tea lovers as an alternative to traditionally sweetened teas.

How is licorice tea produced?

The production of licorice tea begins with harvesting the licorice root from the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra, which grows in regions such as Southern Europe and Asia. The roots are harvested, washed and dried thoroughly before being cut into small pieces or ground into powder. This licorice root can either be used directly in herbal teas or blended with black or green teas to add its characteristic sweetness and spicy flavor.

Once the licorice root is ready, it is mixed with high-quality tea leaves or herbs, depending on the desired flavor profile. To ensure the right balance between sweetness and tea flavor, ingredients such as anise, vanilla or natural aromas are often added. The tea is then packed in airtight containers to preserve freshness before reaching tea lovers around the world.

This careful process ensures that licorice tea develops its unique, intense flavor and aroma, making it a favorite among many.
