The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Tobacco is a versatile, neutral tobacco base: light and dry with leafy hay/cereal notes, a gentle peppery lift and a soft caramel/vanilla underpin—ideal as a foundation for custom blends, RY4/dessert tobaccos or as a dry accent in fruit/dessert mixes. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original packaging).
