The origins of liquorice and its pairing with teas and infusions
Under sun-drenched Mediterranean skies, a plant with powerful and captivating roots flourishes: liquorice. Renowned since antiquity for its medicinal properties and naturally sweet flavour. Whether in soothing organic herbal teas or subtly spiced blends of black or green teas, liquorice reveals all its aromatic richness.
Infused on its own or paired with botanicals such as mint, fennel or aniseed, it offers a caffeine-free taste experience that is ideal at any time of day. Combined with tea, it unfolds a rounded, woody, slightly sweet flavour whilst adding a touch of character. Each sip becomes a moment of pure pleasure, blending botanical freshness with warming intensity.
The benefits of liquorice in a tea or infusion
Prized for its mild, sweet taste, liquorice does far more than just delight the palate. In both herbal blends and teas, it offers genuine benefits for the body: improved digestion, clearer breathing, and a feeling of lightness... A natural concentrate of goodness to care for yourself easily, every day.
Improved digestion
After a heavy meal or a temporary imbalance, the body sometimes calls for gentle, natural support. That is where liquorice comes in, with time-honoured elegance and proven efficacy. For centuries, its roots have been used to soothe digestive discomfort, reduce bloating and promote greater intestinal comfort.
Action on the respiratory tract
As the cooler seasons set in and the air turns drier, liquorice reveals another facet of its properties: its soothing power on the respiratory tract. Traditionally used in Chinese, Ayurvedic and European pharmacopoeias, it is renowned for calming throat irritation and easing expectoration.
Natural appetite suppressant effect
Few plants manage to combine indulgence and lightness with such subtlety as liquorice. Its naturally sweet taste provides delicious comfort, without any added sugar. It is precisely this innate sweetness that makes it an ideal ally when cravings strike, especially at the end of the day.
How to brew a liquorice tea or infusion
Kusmi Tea offers its liquorice creations in both practical teabags and premium loose leaf, catering to every brewing ritual.
In either case, simply heat water to a simmer (around 90°C) and infuse for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the desired strength. Loose leaf is particularly well suited to preparation in a teapot or tea infuser, whilst individual teabags are perfect for a quick cup at the office or at home.
All Kusmi Tea products are available with fast delivery, so you can fully enjoy every tea break without waiting.
