Espresso | 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. Espresso provides a strong, roasted coffee profile inspired by espresso-style coffee, focusing on depth and bitterness rather than sweetness or cream. This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution only. It is PG-based, water-soluble and commonly used in coffee blends, desserts and beverage-style recipes. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
