Wildcrafted Mexican sarsaparilla root comes in cut and sifted pieces with an earthy, woody aroma. It is a Smilax root, distinct from the Indian sarsaparilla botanical also offered in our collection.
Deep, Rooty Flavor
Its dark fibrous pieces contribute a warm, mildly sweet and rustic character to botanical beverages. The scent can recall the traditional spice-and-root profile associated with old-fashioned root drinks.
Explore the Tradition
Sarsaparilla has appeared in beverage traditions for generations. Use this cut root in a loose blend when you want its recognizable aroma to sit alongside other roots and spices. Natural differences in the pieces' size and color are part of the wildcrafted ingredient's appearance.
