Mulethi
मुलेठी (Mulethi)
Glycyrrhiza glabra
📍 Origin: India
Sweet liquorice root — a natural sweetener and throat soother that's been a staple of Ayurvedic medicine for over 4,000 years.
In Our Chai
Mulethi (liquorice root) is one of the most widely used herbs in Ayurveda, valued for its natural sweetness and healing properties. We source ours from Rajasthan, where the dry climate produces roots with concentrated glycyrrhizin — the compound 50 times sweeter than sugar.
In our Rose Mulethi Chai, liquorice root provides a gentle natural sweetness that means you can enjoy this blend with little or no added sugar. It also soothes the throat and supports digestive health.
You can taste Mulethi in our hand-blended chai range — try it in Rose Mulethi CTC Chai and Ayurvedic CTC Chai. Each blend pairs Mulethi with carefully balanced complementary spices.
Learn more about the science of Mulethi — known botanically as Glycyrrhiza glabra in the Wikipedia entry on Liquorice (Mulethi), which covers its history, botanical classification, and traditional uses.
Glycyrrhizin, the compound that makes mulethi sweet, is 50 times sweeter than sugar — yet has zero glycemic impact. Ancient Egyptian pharaohs were buried with liquorice root for their journey to the afterlife.
