Bevande Futuriste's Organic Fennel and Licorice Herbal Tea is a refreshing cold drink that combines the extraordinary properties of two of the most prized medicinal plants in the Italian and Mediterranean herbal tradition. Made exclusively with certified organic Italian fennel and licorice, this herbal tea is a true panacea for daily well-being.

Licorice boasts a fascinating, millennia-old history spanning cultures and continents. Over 5,000 years ago, this precious root was used in ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its many therapeutic properties. In the Middle East, the Scythians—a nomadic population of Iranian origin—would walk for hours through the desert without suffering from thirst, subsisting only on goat's cheese and licorice. The root possessed extraordinary thirst-quenching and satiating properties, allowing travelers to endure long journeys through the most arid regions.

Licorice sticks were even found among the funerary objects of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, evidence of the value attributed to this plant in ancient Egypt. In the 4th century BC, the Greek philosopher and botanist Theophrastus called it "Scythian root," due to its widespread use by nomadic Asian populations.

In Europe, licorice was introduced by Dominican friars only in the 15th century, after the fall of the Roman Empire and the barbarian invasions. The monasteries, which had become key centers for preserving herbal culture, promoted its use in the form of an infusion or tincture, primarily for its benefits on the respiratory tract and for cleansing the liver.

Today, modern science has confirmed the intuitions of the ancients: licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is recognized for its many beneficial properties. It aids digestion, stimulating gastric motility and protecting the gastric mucosa thanks to glycyrrhizin. It is a diuretic, promoting the elimination of excess fluids. It is anti-inflammatory and expectorant, proving effective against coughs, sore throats, catarrh, and respiratory tract disorders. It protects the liver and has natural antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), the other star of this herbal tea, is one of the most prized aromatic plants in the Mediterranean tradition. Rich in vitamin C, potassium, and other essential minerals, fennel is a true ally of the heart and cardiovascular system. Its carminative properties—known since ancient Egypt—promote the elimination of intestinal gas, reducing bloating, aerophagia, and abdominal swelling.

Fennel is renowned for its digestive properties: it stimulates salivary secretion and intestinal motility, helping the body better process nutrients. Thanks to anethole, the active ingredient that gives it its characteristic sweet aroma, fennel also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is particularly recommended after large or heavy meals, to restore lightness and digestive comfort.

The combination of fennel and licorice in this organic herbal tea creates a perfect synergy: the purifying and draining properties mutually enhance each other, while the digestive action of fennel combines with the protective action of licorice on the gastric mucosa. The result is a complete beverage that supports digestive health, facilitates cleansing the body, and offers a pleasant and naturally sweet taste experience.

The sweetness of this herbal tea comes exclusively from organic apple juice from concentrate and natural lemon, licorice, and fennel flavors, without the addition of refined sugars. This makes it an ideal choice for those who want to reduce their intake of added sugars while maintaining a pleasant and satisfying taste.
