  1. Contact Us: Contact our team through our web form or by phone at (502) 273-5214. We’re here to help create and deliver any flavor you desire.
  2. Consultation & Discovery: Next, you will chat with our Flavor Laboratory to understand your needs. Whether you've envisioned a specific flavor profile, require a unique application, or have specific label requirements, Flavorman is ready to dive in.
  3. Flavor Creation & Sample Delivery: Once our visions are aligned, our Flavor Lab selects and prepares custom flavor samples. We’ll provide dosage guidelines, pack them up, and ship them directly to you for testing.
  4. Feedback & Refinement: Now for the fun part - try out the samples with your team and share your thoughts! We’ll work with you to fine-tune the flavors until your thirst is quenched.
  5. Place Your Order: Once you’re happy with the result, simply place your full-size order, and we’ll take care of the rest. Your perfect flavor partnership is so close we can almost taste it!
