POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Cool Pitaya Tea Aroma

Cool Pitaya Tea Aroma – Dragon Fruit Meets Cool Green Tea

Cool Pitaya Tea Aroma brings two flavor worlds together in one bottle: tropical-sweet dragon fruit (pitaya) and the fresh, slightly bitter note of green tea. The profile starts fruity, stays pleasantly mild and finishes cool and clean — without an overpowering sweetness. According to the product specification, the variety belongs to the Spicy & Floral flavor family, with dragon fruit, green tea and fresh kick listed as the leading notes. If you like pitaya but aren't after sticky-sweet concentrates, this gives you a balanced profile for everyday drinks and sweet treats — Shake & Enjoy means: flavor in, base over, shake, done.

Flavor Profile & Notes in Detail

The profile can be described in three moves: exotic-fruity dragon fruit first, the green, slightly bitter tea note beneath it, and the fresh kick at the end that lets the aftertaste fade out cleanly. The sweetness level sits at 2 — subtle sweetness; the flavor delivers taste rather than a sugar impression.

• Main notes: Dragon fruit, Green tea, Fresh kick
• Flavor family: Spicy & Floral
• Sweetness level: 2 – subtle sweetness
• Pairing partners: Lemon, Mint, Peach

Lemon and mint make the profile crisper and more summery, peach makes it softer and rounder — these three pairing partners are also listed in the product data.

Dosage: 4–6 Drops per 100 g – How to Mix

The dosage is 4–6 drops per 100 g or around 1.5% flavor share. Use sparingly, stir or knead into your chosen base, and intensify drop by drop if needed — that's the preparation guidance, and it works. The flavor is highly concentrated, so at the start less is almost always the better choice; topping up is always possible, taking away is not. Water-based mixes are evenly flavored after a short stir; creamy masses need a little longer mixing. This variety does not go above a 10% flavor share. Calculate the right amount for your recipe with the Flavor Calculator for dosage and mixing ratio.

Applications: From Tea Drink to Baked Good

The technical product data list eight application areas: Baking, Quark, Skyr & Yogurt, Shakes & Smoothies, Coffee & Hot Drinks, Soda Water & Sparkling Water, Desserts & Pudding, and Cocktails & Mocktails. This is not a marketing catalogue, but the actually tested range of the variety. For a quick pitaya iced tea: let strongly brewed green tea cool, stir in 4–6 drops per 100 g, add ice cubes, lime and mint — done. Because the formula is heat- and bake-stable, the flavor also stands up to muffins, buttercream and pudding; at very high baking temperatures it's better worked into a cream or glaze. If you want to deepen pitaya in your range, complement it with the POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Pitaya Lychee Aroma — same series, different fruit profile.

Carrier & Quality: What's in the Bottle

The carrier is food-grade propylene glycol (PG, E1520) — the common standard for food flavorings, because it dissolves aroma compounds, keeps them stable and allows drop-accurate dosing. Properties per specification: calorie-free (0 kcal), sugar-free, vegan, gluten-free, free from artificial colors, heat- and bake-stable. The flavor is filled in Germany and is food-safe. Important: flavorings are highly concentrated food additives intended solely for refining food and drinks — do not consume undiluted, store cool, dry and protected from light, keep out of reach of small children. For your own mixing base, there's a matching 500 ml Glycerin & Propylene Glycol mixing base in the shop.

Practical Check: How It Plays Out in the Kitchen

A realistic flow on an afternoon: 200 g Skyr into the bowl, 4 drops of Cool Pitaya Tea straight over it, stir with a spoon for 20 seconds, taste. The pitaya arrives immediately, the green tea echo takes about a minute in the mouth. Not enough? One more drop, stir again — done in under two minutes, with no added sugar. That's exactly how you work with a 1.5% flavor share in lemonade, shakes or pudding too: prepare the base, fold in the flavor sparingly, taste, adjust. The recipe stays flexible, because the bottle drips instead of pours — and because the subtle sweetness of the variety doesn't force a fixed flavor picture, but leaves room for your own combinations.
