Red Type Blend | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

The Flavor Apprentice produces water-soluble food flavorings for DIY mixing and culinary applications. Red Type Blend is inspired by traditional American-style red tobacco blends, offering a smooth, slightly sweet tobacco profile with mild depth rather than harshness. This highly concentrated flavor must be diluted before use. It is commonly used as a base for tobacco-style recipes and can be combined with caramel, vanilla or nut notes for complexity. All TFA concentrates are PG-based and water-soluble. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
