Organic Licorice Root, Tea Cut Pieces

Organic Licorice Root from Egypt

Organic licorice root is carefully sourced from Egypt and cut into 3–10 mm pieces ideal for brewing tea, herbal blends, and culinary preparations. Naturally sweet and aromatic, this premium dried root creates a distinctive herbal infusion with a rich flavour and lingering natural sweetness.

Licorice root, derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra, has been valued for centuries in herbal and culinary traditions around the world. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used licorice root in traditional preparations, and licorice species also have a long history of use in Chinese herbal tradition. The root naturally contains glycyrrhizin, the compound largely responsible for its characteristic sweetness.

Traditionally, licorice root is used as an expectorant to help relieve chest complaints associated with mucus buildup, coughs, and bronchitis, and to help relieve inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastritis in adults.

Licorice root has a naturally sweet, earthy flavour with a rich herbal character. It can be brewed on its own or added to herbal tea blends, where even a small amount contributes natural sweetness and depth. It can also be used as a flavouring ingredient in candies and sweets, incorporated into traditional Asian and Middle Eastern recipes, or used as a naturally sweet botanical ingredient in foods.
