Flavor Family

Botanical & Tea Flavors

Green tea, black tea, hibiscus, lavender, rose, jasmine, and elderflower profiles are delicate, complex systems built for premium and wellness-positioned products. These profiles are easily overwhelmed by high sweetener loads or aggressive flavor companions. They work best in beverages and formats where their nuance can come through.

Formulator note: Low-to-moderate sweetener levels let botanical notes read clearly. Heavy sweetness compresses the complexity that makes these profiles valuable.
