The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) makes water-soluble food flavors. Licorice Tobacco layers a dry, dark tobacco with licorice/anise: spicy lift on top, smoky leaf mid and a gentle caramel undertone—ideal for sophisticated dessert and “tobacco” blends.
Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavors are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain trace ethanol. Note: We bulk-source and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original manufacturer bottle).

How do I avoid ash/bitter notes?
Stay in the lower range and balance with caramel/RY4 or a light sweetener.
Does it pair with menthol?
Yes—light menthol adds freshness without masking tobacco/anise.
