I just bought myself a green tea with cherry at Walmart today and it was crazy good. I started wondering if it would be hard to make a
vape that tasted like this tea. I know cherry is a tough flavor to work with but in this tea, the cherry is present but not at all overwhelming, kinda light but there. Has anybody had success with a cherry flavor and what flavoring did you use. I really think I could pull this off if I knew more about that flavoring
If you want a good green tea flavor, FE Green Tea is the one. It's a pleasant, but delicate green tea, mild with a slight earthiness. Herbaceous but no sickly grassy taste. It totally freshens the olfactory senses. It has a light lingering green tea flavor, as there is when drinking a decent green tea. There is a very light lemon citrus undercurrent (very delicate). FE Green Tea has no bitterness or off notes.
I've used it up to 1.2% with darker fruits. Per several on ELR going over 1.2% turns FE Green Tea into something nasty tasting.
As for cherry flavors, I like SSA Ripe Cherry and SSA Compote Cherry. As you noted, cherry DIY flavors are difficult to work with because when used too high they easily overtake other flavors. The SSA cherries are very highly concentrated flavors.
For a cherry green tea I would recommend making 30mls FE Green Tea 1.2% and then adding one of the cherries above. How much to add? I would only start with 1 drop in 30mls.
Good luck!
