DuoMei Flavor Tasting Notes

Leilani · November 20, 2017, 12:30pm

Hi All,
I came upon a lesser known brand flavor manufacturer called DuoMei. Here is a link to their company profile on Ingredientsnetwork - Nanchang Duomei Bio-tech Co., Ltd. They are a reputable company found in China; and from what I have come to understand is that many of their concentrates are purchased and repacked by other flavor manufacturers around the globe. However, I have yet to confirm this information directly.

This company was recommended to me by Fresh03 and @Amy2. Currently you can only order samples, however the samples are a good size, and the flavorings are SUPER CONCENTRATED and potent; akin to a concentrated essence! So, a dilution would be required for a majority of them. Here are some of the notes you can find in my flavor stash.

Regards,
Leilani

Thank you Leilani for all your hard work. I appreciate it.
Not familiar with “Knuckle” Is this your term for smell/taste on the Knuckle? Or if not, could you post source of term? I struck out on Google…

Leilani · November 20, 2017, 6:15pm

Hi @Brotherbob Thank you. Oh! Sorry. “Knuckle” is a term used for the taste. I will drip a small amount of the liquid from the tester bottle onto my knuckle and taste it. I found some people will drip test onto their fingers, or on a plastic / metal spoon (don’t want to taste salt from their skin) as well, but for convenience sake - I just do it on my knuckle (hands are thoroughly clean lol).

Lolly · November 20, 2017, 6:54pm

I love to read your notes. Thanks for sharing

Leilani · November 20, 2017, 8:21pm

Thank you Lolly! I can’t compare to your notes or other veteran mixers at this point, but I’m trying my best!

Lolly · November 20, 2017, 8:26pm

I’m not one of those but thank you for thinking I am …and my notes are as abrupt as they come . I wish I had your diligence - keep em coming girl

Leilani · November 20, 2017, 8:30pm

Thank you Lolly! I will and I must. If it wasn’t for everyone here teaching me and guiding me, I’d be lost and more than likely broke from buying commercial juices every other day.
