Licorice tea

What is licorice tea?

Licorice tea is an aromatic tea based on licorice root, which is extracted from the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra. The characteristic sweetness and full flavor comes naturally from the licorice root and gives the tea a unique and well-balanced profile. Licorice tea can be made from both black , green and herbal teas , where licorice root and other spices are added to create a complex and delicate taste experience. Popular for its sweet aftertaste and natural calming effect, this tea has won the hearts of many tea lovers as an alternative to traditional sweet tea.

How is licorice tea produced?

The production of licorice tea starts with the extraction of licorice root from the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra, which grows in areas such as southern Europe and Asia. The roots are harvested, washed and dried thoroughly before being cut into small pieces or pulverized. This licorice root can then either be used directly in herbal teas or added to black or green teas to give them a characteristic sweetness and spicy flavor.

Once the licorice root is ready, it is mixed with high-quality tea leaves or other herbs, depending on the desired flavor profile. To ensure that the licorice tea achieves the right balance between sweetness and tea flavor, other ingredients such as anise, vanilla or natural aromas are often added. The tea is then packed in airtight containers to preserve freshness before being sent out to tea lovers around the world. This careful process ensures that the licorice tea gets its unique, intense flavor and aroma, which makes it a favorite among many.
