European Licorice Root - Cut and Sifted

One of the 50 fundamental herbs of traditional Chinese medicine, licorice root has been treasured across Asia and Europe for thousands of years. Its name hints at its most distinctive quality — glycyrrhiza comes from the Greek for "sweet root," and its active compound glycyrrhizin is naturally about 50 times sweeter than sugar. In TCM, it is considered a harmonizing herb, traditionally used to soothe the respiratory tract, ease digestive discomfort, and balance the actions of other herbs in a formula.

How to brew: Add 1 tsp of chopped root or a 1-inch piece per cup of boiling water. Simmer or steep for 10–20 minutes. Blends beautifully with chai spices, mint, or other roots and barks.

Ingredients: Organic licorice root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis)
