Description
Natural harmony with a warming cup of Organic Liquorice Root Tea
Organic Liquorice Root Tea from Unimedica impresses with its earthy depth and subtle sweetness. Its mild liquorice note is no coincidence, as liquorice root is also used to make liquorice.
Our liquorice root tea is made from finely cut organic liquorice roots (Liquiritiae radix nat. conc. bio.). Its origin from certified organic cultivation guarantees an unadulterated flavour and the preservation of valuable constituents. Liquorice root tea is a popular home remedy when, for example, the throat feels slightly scratchy, as it provides warmth and leaves a pleasant, comforting sensation.
What gives liquorice root its characteristic flavour?
Liquorice root contains natural components such as glycyrrhizin, which is responsible for the characteristically sweet taste and liquorice aroma. It has fifty times the sweetness of cane sugar. While glycyrrhizin naturally sweetens the tea, over 40 flavonoids, saponins and polysaccharides as secondary plant compounds contribute to the comprehensive flavour profile appreciated by many tea lovers.
What is liquorice root?
Our Organic Liquorice Root Tea is made from carefully selected, cut roots of true liquorice. This is a herbaceous plant belonging to the legume family. After flowering, the roots are harvested and processed in autumn.
Liquorice mainly grows in the Mediterranean region and in Western Asia, as the plant requires warmth.
Where else can you find such wonderful constituents?
While liquorice root is a primary source of glycyrrhizin, flavonoids can also be found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Saponins, in turn, occur in certain beans, legumes and other plants. Similar constituents can also be found in other plants such as citrus fruits, green tea and red grapes.
Each pack contains 250 g of cut liquorice root.
