Aroma tip

Flavour harmony: green tea and yuzu

Simple sweetness is becoming less of an obvious starting point in product development. Attention is increasingly shifting towards flavours that create contrast through freshness, subtle bitterness and botanical depth.

Green tea brings a fresh, floral and gently herbal character, with soft notes of dried 
fruit. Yuzu further elevates the profile with aromatic citrus tones and its distinctive zesty character.

The result is a flavour combination that remains bright and refreshing, whilst offering enough depth to create a distinctive profile across a variety of product categories – including applications with a lower level of intrinsic sweetness.

Inspiration for application

  • Tea & refreshing beverages : In iced tea, kombucha and sparkling drinks, yuzu adds a fresh, aromatic citrus note. Green tea brings elegant herbal nuances and creates a slightly drier finish.
  • Pastries & desserts : In cheesecake, mousses, macarons and white chocolate, green tea adds depth and character to the flavour profile. Yuzu lifts the sweetness with a vibrant, zesty citrus accent.
