Mulethi
मुलेठी (Mulethi)
Glycyrrhiza glabra
📍 Origin: India
Sweet liquorice root — a natural sweetener with a warm, liquorice taste that's been part of Ayurvedic tradition 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 warm, liquorice-like taste. 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 gives the cup a smooth, mellow finish.
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.
