Description

Licorice comes from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant. It is also commonly known as calamus wood or calamus root. Licorice has been loved for thousands of years for its unique flavor and healing properties. This infusion is a treat for those who love natural sweetness, with a warm, round flavor reminiscent of anise, caramel, and a hint of honey. This tea has no added sugars—the sweet flavor comes directly from the root itself.

The plant grows mainly in Southern Europe and Western Asia, where it plays an important role in both folk medicine and culinary traditions. In traditional Chinese medicine, licorice is known as a harmonizing ingredient, often used to balance the effects of other herbs. It is also used in Ayurveda for its soothing effect on the throat and stomach. A study has shown that it has a positive effect on reflux.

An infusion of licorice is particularly suitable as a caffeine-free alternative, perfect for relaxation in the evening or during cold winter days. It is known for its soothing effect on the throat and is often drunk for hoarseness or a tickly cough.

At Thee.be, we select only high-quality, pure natural licorice pieces—without additives or flavorings. Enjoy this powerful, sweet infusion on its own, or as a flavorful base for a spicy blend with ginger or cinnamon, for example.

Be surprised by the depth of this centuries-old root. A cup of licorice is not only warming, but also a journey through time and tradition.

Licorice is not recommended for people with high blood pressure. Pregnant women are also generally advised not to drink more than 1 to 2 cups of licorice tea per day.
