Description
Bulk Earl Grey Flavor Oil from the Angel Bake Pure Infusions collection, in a 1 gallon container for production volumes. Bergamot led, rounded with sweet orange and finished with lavender, carried in coconut derived MCT, palm free and water free. Oil soluble and caffeine free, for chocolate, confection, and bakery lines where a water bearing flavor cannot be used.
The same Earl Grey, formulated for fat
Bergamot leads, sweet orange rounds it, lavender finishes it. The profile is identical to our Culinary Aromatics Earl Grey; the difference is the carrier, and the carrier decides where a flavor can go.
Citrus bergamia gives the bright, faintly bitter top note. Sweet orange sits underneath and warms it. Lavender closes it with a soft floral note held low enough to read as depth rather than as lavender. There is no tea in the formula, so there is no caffeine.
Water is the problem chocolate has with flavor
A water bearing flavor added to melted chocolate can thicken or seize it, which is why chocolate work reaches for an oil soluble format. Pure Infusions flavor oils are carried in Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides (MCT) derived from coconut, palm free, with no water in the formula.
MCT is flavorless, odorless, and resistant to oxidation, so it carries the botanical character without adding any of its own. It is water-white and stays liquid and pourable from freezer temperatures through high-heat cooking, which is why the same bottle works in a gelato fat phase and in a shortbread dough.
In a batter or a dough it goes in with the butter or the oil rather than with the liquids. That is how it distributes evenly through the crumb instead of concentrating wherever the water went.
No tea in the bottle, and no caffeine
There is no tea solid in this formula, so there is no caffeine. For a bakery that matters on evening desserts and on menus written for children. For a beverage producer it removes a declaration to manage and takes the tea supply chain out of your specification.
It also means you are not carrying tannin into the base. Tannin is what turns a brewed infusion bitter and cloudy once it sits in a syrup or a cream, and it is the reason steeped Earl Grey rarely holds up in production.
What we don’t have matters
Pure Infusions flavor oils carry the same formulation discipline as the rest of the Angel Bake range. Every Pure Infusions product is made without:
- Synthetic or artificial flavor ingredients
- Propylene glycol
- Water in the formula, which is what makes it safe for couverture
- Palm. The MCT is coconut derived
- Added sugar
- Synthetic colors or dyes
- BHT or sodium benzoate
- Caffeine
Production runs in a dedicated gluten-free, allergen-free facility, which means none of the major food allergens are present in the production environment, not simply absent from the formulation.
Applications at scale
Couverture and compound coatings, enrobed and molded confection, ganache and truffle centers, cookie and shortbread lines, laminated dough butter blocks, caramels, gelato fat phase, and nut butter or granola coatings.
Where the same profile is needed in a beverage or a water based cream, the Culinary Aromatics Earl Grey extract covers that side without a second flavor development cycle.
Documentation your quality team will ask for
Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis. Specification sheet, allergen statement, Kosher certificate, NSF certificate, and SDS are available on request before you commit to a trial.
On your ingredient statement this declares as natural flavor. Because the profile is composed from more than one botanical rather than from a single named food, have your labeling reviewer look at any front panel Earl Grey name against 21 CFR 101.22 before you print. We will send the formulation documentation that review needs.
Saena, LLC holds NSF third-party certification for GMP and HACCP and is an FDA registered food facility. We do not hold a GFSI benchmarked scheme such as SQF, BRCGS, or FSSC 22000. We would rather you hear that from us than find it in an audit questionnaire.
Certifications and compliance
Third-party certified:
- Kosher, Oregon Kosher, PAREVE
- NSF GMP and HACCP certified facility
Regulatory compliance:
- FDA registered food facility
- FEMA GRAS compliant
- California Prop 65 compliant
Ingredient declarations:

FEMA GRAS covers the safety and regulatory status of the flavor ingredients used. That is a separate question from whether a material is natural, and we document the two separately. Because we maintain full ingredient traceability, we can provide the compliance documentation retailer questionnaires and audits ask for.
Usage and ordering
We do not publish fixed dose rates. The right rate depends on your base, your process, and your target intensity, and a published number is usually wrong for a specific application. Tell us the application and we will run the bench work with your team against your own base.
Best By: 3 years from manufacturing date. Store capped, cool, and out of direct sunlight.
