Marshmallow Root TeaAlpi Nature Marshmallow Root Tea, Cut Root, 125 g (4.4 oz)

A sweet, woody root for slow brewing

Marshmallow root comes from Althaea officinalis, a perennial flowering herb whose brown, fibrous root has been valued for centuries. Here it is supplied cut into pieces, ready for steeping. The manufacturer describes a flavour that balances sweet and woody notes, with a smooth texture that comes from the root's naturally mucilaginous character.

Hot or cold infusion

Unlike quick-steeping leaf teas, this root suits a long brew, either as a hot infusion or a cold one left for several hours. It can be enjoyed on its own or blended with other herbal teas. The manufacturer also notes that marshmallow root is used as a thickening agent in the kitchen.

What is in the pack

The pack holds 125 g (4.4 oz) of cut, unpeeled marshmallow root with no other ingredients listed. The manufacturer states that the root comes from cultivation focused on purity, and the listed country of origin is Bulgaria.

How to use

Use 1 tablespoon of root per 250 ml cup. For a hot infusion, steep for 20-30 minutes; for a cold infusion, steep for 6-12 hours. Strain before drinking.

Before you choose

This is loose cut root, not tea bags, so you will need a strainer or infuser to separate the pieces after brewing. The manufacturer states that the product contains allergens and is not suitable for children.
