Flavour family
Hibiscus, elderflower, rose, lavender, basil, rosemary, ginger, hops and adaptogen profiles for Canadian craft beverages, kombucha, functional drinks, dairy desserts, confectionery and supplements.
Botanicals are the engine of craft beverage differentiation in Canada — kombucha brewers, cold brew tea makers, premium tonics and non-alcoholic spirits all need authentic herbal and floral character. Our distillates and natural flavours deliver real-tasting elderflower, hibiscus, rose and rosemary without the cost or processing of fresh raw material.
Our botanical library covers hibiscus, elderflower, rose, lavender, basil, rosemary, sage, thyme, ginger, hops (Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, Cascade and others), juniper, bergamot, chamomile, jasmine and adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola, reishi character). Each is supplied as a natural distillate, extract or full-character concentrate depending on the brand's clean-label requirement.
Used heavily in kombucha, hard seltzer, non-alcoholic spirits, tonics, cold brew tea, sparkling water, functional shots and craft beverage launches across the Canadian market.
Botanical character is delicate: floral and herbal volatiles oxidize quickly, and a clumsy formulation can read soapy, medicinal or vegetal instead of true. We use protective carriers and antioxidants to preserve authentic character across the full shelf life. Dosage typically 0.05–0.3% depending on profile and matrix.
All botanical profiles are available in natural-claim versions with CFIA-compliant documentation and, where applicable, organic certification.
Botanical character can come from oleoresins, hydrosols/distillates, CO₂ extracts, tinctures, or fully formulated natural flavours. Each carries different cost, regulatory profile and sensory impact. For a botanical seltzer, distillates and natural flavours deliver clarity and stability; for a hard tea or premium tonic, a blend of CO₂ extract and natural flavour gives depth without bitterness.
We map your brief to the right botanical building blocks and provide the supplier dossier (origin, GMO, allergen, irradiation, kosher/halal) with every sample.
Botanical flavours sit naturally alongside functional positioning — ashwagandha, rhodiola, lion's mane, L-theanine, magnesium, GABA. We supply masking and modulation systems that pair with the most common functional matrices to soften bitter, earthy and metallic off-notes while preserving the botanical signature.
Compliant with Health Canada NHP labelling expectations for the flavour component of natural health product beverages and shots.
