RY4 Asian | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100/250/500ml)

The Flavor Apprentice produces water-soluble food flavorings for DIY mixing. RY4 Asian offers a smoother, slightly lighter take on the classic RY4 profile, blending mild tobacco with soft caramel sweetness and gentle vanilla undertones. This highly concentrated flavor must be diluted before use. It is commonly used as a standalone tobacco blend or as a base for customized RY-style recipes. All TFA concentrates are PG-based and water-soluble. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
