PUMPKIN SPICE Flavoring by Flavor Essence (Unsweetened, Natural Background Flavoring) 2 Oz.| For Beverages: coffee/tea, shakes, smoothies, bar drinks. For Foods: baking, doughs, batters, frostings, yogurt

Having purchased a Ninja Coffee System a few months back, I was desperately looking for a flavoring system that could allow me to cut out my excessive coffee buying from Dunkin Donuts. I wanted something similar to the selections at Dunkin, namely an unsweetened syrup flavor that I could sweeten my own way. I am not a fan of the pre-sweetened sugar free syrups, as they tend to leave an aftertaste.My first purchase of Flavor Essence included French Vanilla Cream, Blueberry, and Bananas Foster. I was blown away with the first cup. The Bananas Foster is like drinking liquid banana bread, and mixing Blueberry and Vanilla make for an incredible summer iced coffee! The second purchase included another bottle of Bananas Foster, Toasted Almond, Caramel Crème Brulee, and Pumpkin Spice. I was even more impressed with the Caramel Crème Brulee than I was with the Bananas Foster. I use a ½ teaspoon amount in an iced coffee that is 24oz, and it is always perfect, regardless of the flavor I choose.The communication with the seller is one of the main reasons I keep purchasing. Each package has included a handwritten note from Mick, asking us to let him know how everything tastes, and suggesting flavor combinations based on what we have purchased. He has included a sample of the Dark Chocolate, which mixed perfectly with the Toasted Almond. I will continue to purchase from Mick, and I look forward to trying whatever new flavor he comes up with!

Nice clean taste,no artificial ingredients/chemicals to worry about here! Flavor Essence can be added to anything & everything,it's versatility is endless. Best of all for me is it's 0 Cal & 0 Carb but yet bursting with flavor. Add it to cream cheese for Pumpkin Cheese Cake. I luv to whip up heavy whipping creme & add Caramel Flavor Essence. Pancakes/ Waffles made the lo carb way with Flavor Essence added make for a special indulgence. Want to taste something as good or better than Starbucks Latte? Add to one steaming hot cup of coffee 1T butter, 1T cocconut oil, 1T heavy whipping cream (all allowed on lo carb diet) & Pumpkin Spice Flavor Essence. Blend everything with a stick blender until frothy. Perfection! Some like to drink this as a meal replacement. It has not been easy to find P.Spice coffee flavoring anywhere. Usually offered during holidays only. Hope this company will keep developing new flavors to their list....like eggnog! Fast,dependable customer service.

I wanted to like it - I really did, but as other people have commented, there is little pumpkin taste but a really weird chemical aftertaste! I have found the best bet is to stick with the pumpkin spice creamers from my local grocery store.

I did not taste any pumpkin flavor.

My goal was to make a pumpkin latte that's as tasty as the one I get at WaWa's, with 100 calories instead of 400+ cals, and a fraction of the cost. This one almost hits the mark! It's my first time trying pumpkin--I wish it were as good as my other sugar-free flavorings, but I understand that pumpkin is a hard flavor to create, and this one is pretty good! I love that it's natural, as well.My suggestion is to be liberal with this flavoring (I worked my way up to seven splashes for 16 ounces, but see what works for you) and to add quite a bit of cinnamon, a little nutmeg and clove. Then I add a full cap-full of sugar-free caramel flavoring as well, which is  Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel Syrup w/ Splenda, 750 mL Tori's. Without the caramel flavoring added, the pumpkin misses a full-body flavor, I find, and WaWa seems to add something to their pumpkin flavoring as well. Then I add skim milk thickened with a little guar gum (so it has the consistency of cream). Then I sweeten my latte with a lot of Splenda. Low-cal fun. YUM!

tastes good, but pricy

See my review of the Blueberry flavor for my high opinion of it. The Pumpkin Spice tastes wonderful in milk or aloe juice. Just a few drops are enough to flavor either, but you can add more to taste. Be sure to taste it first! I love to take a deep whiff of that wonderful aroma before sipping. Oh, my, my! The pumpkin is not overpowered by the spice, but the wonderful spice taste lasts a bit longer than the pumpkin after my glass is finished. Mmmmmm! The smell reminds me of spice cookies and pumpkin pie baking, with a heap of nice memories. I hope Flavor Essence keeps this available year round! I can just imagine how good this would taste in baking goods as well. I bought 4 of their 5 flavors and each is equally good. I will definitely buy again and highly, highly recommend this flavor and the company! Thanks, Flavor Essence!! Can you make an old-fashioned black licorice flavor??

This is a wonderful way to add real pumpkin spice flavor without all the calories associated with a sugary sweet syrup. It's just great for someone like me who craves a pumpkin spice latte at this time of year but finds all those offered in coffee shops too sickeningly sweet to drink! I make my own latte with lactose-free milk, which is a tad sweeter than regular milk, stir in a spoonful of this essence and let it sit 5 minutes to let the flavor infuse the hot milk before taking that first delicious sip. The first bottle I ordered went astray in the mail (nice one USPS!) but customer service at Flavor Essence Inc was amazing and I received a replacement along with a very nice note in just a couple of days. Thanks Mick. I will definitely be ordering this again as well as other flavors from this company via Amazon.
