We spend a lot of time exploring flavors and flavor experiences from around the world in order to create our flavor
ingredients. One thing we have learned through our exploration was the true impact of the unique qualities of these
artisan flavors, produced through traditions that have been passed hand-to-hand by master craftsmen over the centuries.
There’s just something special about flavors that have been produced in this traditional manner, and from products such
as coffee and tea to rich berry flavors, creamy flavors, buttery flavors and much more, we have made it our mission
to replicate the artisan process in our flavor production as much as possible.

One way that we have done this is by replicating the artisan craftsmanship process in our own flavor production.
For example, we have endeavored to ensure that we use only the finest materials possible in the creation of our flavor
ingredients through a process of vertical integration with raw material suppliers and manufacturers. Just as artisan foods
in the old word benefit from a direct chain of command from the moment they are grown in the field to the moment they
end up on consumers’ tables, our flavor ingredients benefit from this vertical integration process, which ensures that we
at Sapphire know exactly where our materials are coming from and can ensure that they are of the best possible quality
for our customers.
