🌿 Organic Licorice Root, Cut & Sifted
Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is one of the sweetest, most versatile roots in the herbal world, and our cut and sifted grade is ready to steep, blend, or extract straight from the bag. The flavor is gently sweet, almost like stevia, with a soft thread of vanilla and a grounding, earthy finish. It is a longstanding favorite in tea blends, herbal candies, and traditional formulas across Chinese herbal traditions and Ayurvedic herbalism.
A member of the Fabaceae (legume) family, licorice has been treasured for thousands of years for its naturally sweet taste and its place in classic herbal preparations. Our resealable bag keeps the dried root fresh between uses, so the aroma and sweetness hold up batch after batch, whether you are reaching for an ounce or working from a five pound bulk supply.
We farm with a soil-first philosophy because we believe healthier, more biologically alive soil grows more complex, more potent plants. That belief is the reason we hold every herb we carry, licorice included, to the same biological and per-lot testing standards. It is who we are, and it shapes every decision we make about quality.
Radical transparency is the other half of that promise. Every lot of licorice root we ship is lab-tested for purity, potency, and the absence of contaminants, and we publish each batch's Certificate of Analysis so you can verify the exact lot you receive. You can find the historical COA list on our licorice root deep-dive article.
Sacred Plant Co is a soil-first farm. Our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land. That score is the heart of who we are. We believe healthier soil grows more complex, more potent plants, and that philosophy is the reason we hold every herb we carry to the same biological and per-lot testing standards.
Licorice thrives in the warm, dry continental climate of southern and western Asia, the conditions it evolved in. We partner with a vetted farm in India that specializes in exactly those conditions and grows it right where it flourishes, to the same soil-first, biological standard that defines our own Colorado farm. Every lot we ship receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.

Safe Use & Good to Know
Licorice root naturally contains glycyrrhizin, a compound responsible for its signature sweetness. In large amounts or with prolonged daily use, glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure, lower potassium levels, and contribute to fluid retention, so licorice is traditionally enjoyed in moderation rather than continuously over long stretches.
As a general precaution, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who are managing high blood pressure, heart conditions, kidney concerns, or low potassium, should speak with a qualified practitioner before use. Licorice may also interact with diuretics, blood pressure medication, corticosteroids, and certain heart medications, so professional guidance is wise if you take any of these.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make licorice root tea?
Licorice root makes a simple, naturally sweet decoction. We add about one teaspoon of the cut and sifted root to a cup of water, bring it to a gentle simmer, and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes before straining. The longer it sits, the sweeter and rounder it gets. It blends beautifully into herbal tea formulas, and its sweetness means you rarely need to add anything else.
Is licorice root safe to take every day?
Licorice root is best enjoyed in moderation rather than as a daily long-term habit, because it naturally contains glycyrrhizin, which can affect blood pressure and potassium levels when used in large amounts over time. We suggest keeping sessions occasional and speaking with a qualified practitioner first if you are pregnant, managing blood pressure, or taking medication. Every lot we ship is lab-tested, and you can review the published Certificate of Analysis for your batch before you brew.
Where does your licorice root come from?
Licorice thrives in the warm, dry continental climate of southern and western Asia, the conditions it evolved in. We partner with a vetted farm in India that grows it right where it flourishes, to the same soil-first, biological standard that defines our own Colorado farm. Every lot we ship receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.
What does licorice root taste like, and what can I blend it with?
Licorice root is gently sweet with notes of stevia, vanilla, and a soft earthy finish. That natural sweetness makes it a wonderful base note in tea blends, where it rounds out sharper or more bitter herbs without any added sugar. We love it alongside warming spices and roots, and it pairs especially well in traditional formulas drawn from Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal traditions.
