Dr Pop | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a US-based manufacturer of professional food flavorings used in DIY mixing and culinary applications. Dr Pop delivers a complex soda-style profile inspired by classic American colas, featuring layered spice, light cherry-like sweetness and a rounded soda base rather than a single defined fruit. This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution only. It is PG-based, water-soluble and commonly used in beverage-style recipes and nostalgic soda blends. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
