Hibiscus | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) produces professional food flavorings for DIY mixing and culinary use. Hibiscus offers a floral profile with subtle tartness and gentle bitterness, inspired by hibiscus tea rather than sweet floral candy. It is commonly used to add complexity and brightness to beverage-style and fruit blends. This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution only. It is PG-based, water-soluble and typically used as an accent flavor. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
