FLAVOR ESSENCE CUSTOM 5 PACK CASE -UNSWEETENED NATURAL FLAVORS ~Any Combination of Flavors You Want.

I have had these for a few months and wanted to give my review for others who might be hesitant to purchase.I purchased the Caramel Creme 'Brûlée, Mint Chocolate, Bananas Foster, Vanilla Cream, and Coconut. The seller is wonderful, responsive and professional. The package shipped much quicker than was estimated and came in a lovely box with instructions on how to mix flavors to get even more use out of the product. These flavorings are a great value and I would buy them again.I drink decaf coffee and apparently retailers think that decaf coffee drinkers only drink plain coffee, Vanilla coffee or Hazelnut coffee....we don't. Which is why these flavors are GREAT for an every day cup of coffee and for making your own "dessert" coffee, plus, you get to control the ingredients, and why I purchased these. I don't want a bunch of sugar in my drink and I don't want Stevia, Xylitol or Erythritol as they make me sick. I want to use Splenda and sometimes no sweetener at all. Sometimes I feel like fat free milk, sometimes I want heavy cream. These flavors work with all different ingredients and you have to love that kind of versatility!The Caramel is nice. It's not too strong and I actually use 15 drops for my 12 ounce cup, sometimes I add a tablespoon of Sugar Free Smuckers Caramel topping and either heavy cream or whole milk. Bananas Foster tastes straight up like you are drinking banana bread! It is very good!, I use either non dairy creamer or heavy cream or whole milk in it. The Mint Chocolate is nice! I add about 10 drops of the flavoring, a teaspoon or two of unsweetened cocoa and whole milk. The Coconut I use about 10 drops of flavoring and whole milk. You could use Coconut Milk or Coconut Cream (from the can) as well. I did not like the Vanilla as much as I do the other flavors. It had a bit of an alcohol after taste. I actually use imitation vanilla in all of my cooking because I don't like the alcohol aftertaste some flavorings had. It's not a bad taste at all either, it just wasn't my preferred medium, so I will use it for something else, no big deal.For those who complain that the flavoring is not strong enough, I think they may be used to flavored coffees you can buy at fast food restaurants and coffee bars. Those establishments use a TON of other ingredients to flavor up your drink to make it way more palatable/addicting? than most of us are used to. Those ingredients are mostly, fats and sugars. Look at the calorie content and you'll understand. The more sugar and fat, the more tasty it is. I will also say that I have purchased the Sugar Free Hazelnut Toriani syrup that says to use "Just a splash" to flavor your drink. Well a "splash" is actually two tablespoons. Compare that to the drops needed to flavor and you'll see that that is a big difference and that these drops are a good value.When I just want a quick flavored coffee, I use the drops, about 10-15 each because I'm using a 12 ounce cup. When I want a coffee bar drink, I add the other ingredients as I mentioned above. Plus you can just bring the little bottle with you or leave it in your desk at work for that afternoon cup.I have not used these flavoring to add to water so I do not have a review for water.Thank you for providing these flavor drops, I really appreciate them!

I was a little leery about the price but decided to put together a 5 pack anyway and I have NOT been disappointed. I mainly bought these for seltzers and they’ve been fantastic; on a whim I put a couple of drops into some vodka and it’s very good. The company seems to take its customers seriously by providing personalized notes with the package, which explains the best ways to use the flavors. A little does go a long way, only a few drops each time is more than enough for what I’m looking for. I also love that there are no sweeteners present, just flavor. I’ll definitely be ordering again when it’s time and I look forward to experimenting with different flavor combinations.

Just got my sample pack and very pleased with the flavors. I bought them mostly to make my own stevia based sodas, but have already started adding them to random drinks and gotten some very pleasant surprises (e.g. a few drops of raspberry in rooibos tea actually pairs very well together).

Love these flavorings for our coffee, they're great. Love supporting small businesses. The owner is wonderful, and puts personalized notes in your shipment. ❤️

The presentation is wonderful and the recipe cards are very thoughtful, but I am not a fan of the flavors for sparkle water. I was trying to replicate la croix but most of the flavors ended up tasting very synthetic. I didn’t like the tangerine, or French vanilla cream; but kind of like the blueberry, strawberry and peach. I tried using both sparingly (1-3 drops) and up to a 1/4 tsp per 12 Oz sparkle water. I also tried the suggestions of adding sugar or citric acid to enhance the flavors but they still tasted synthetic to me.

I am not new to background flavor profiles as I have tried many different types including oils, to try and change the flavor of my water. This company's background flavor profile's are simply the best. As the seller mentions, they are background subtle flavors that enhance what you put them in. For me, it is water! I am overseas on a military base and we do not have a choice on what type of bottled water is available to us and they don't always taste the best. These flavor enhancers totally change that and make it not only palatable but actually very good! I ordered peach (the smell is so good I almost want to use it as perfume), blueberry, coconut, toasted almonds, tangerine, Meyer lemon, French Vanilla Creme, and Caramel Creme Brulee. I have not used the Creme Brulee as of yet since that was intended for coffee and tea but everyone of the other flavors are wonderful! You will need to adjust to your taste so start with a small squeeze first and work up to two squeezes if necessary. I love the combo of coconut and toasted almond in my oatmeal in the morning also. I plan on using these in home made lip balm and when I get it adjusted correctly, I will post the recipe. I love a hint of flavor (smell) without color on my lip balms and I think these will be perfect. I am so happy I found this company and can't wait to try the remaining flavors. By the way, all the soldiers that I have introduced these to love them as well so not just me. I plan on keeping these stocked so that we stay hydrated in the dry environment.
