Century-old, flavor company Torani is adding a bold, balanced and unexpected botanical flavor to its lineup of over 400 syrups and sauces. The company announced Forest Pine as its 2026 “Flavor of the Year.” Following in the footsteps of the 2025 “Flavor of the Century,” Diamond Syrup, Torani will donate 100% of sales profits from Forest Pine Syrup to non-profit partners creating work readiness opportunities—many connected to the outdoors—for underserved communities, turning every sip into a force for good.

This fusion of pine, ginger and sage captures the essence of the outdoors to elevate your favorite cold or hot coffees, teas, mocktails, craft cocktails and sparkling refreshers. This new flavor is part of Torani’s Puremade syrup collection, made with pure cane sugar, no artificial flavors and colors from natural sources.

Rooted in the growing movement of nature-inspired and botanical-infused artisan beverages, Torani Puremade Forest Pine Syrup captures the spirit of foraged ingredients, elevating them into a flavor that is comforting, nostalgic, and refreshing. While pine often evokes winter and holiday traditions, Torani Puremade Forest Pine Syrup transcends the season, offering a distinctive flavor that enhances a wide variety of beverages all year long.

Forest Pine wasn’t crowned Flavor of the Year based on taste alone. Torani’s team of market researchers and food scientists spent countless hours uncovering emerging consumer and marketplace trends that pointed to pine as the next big thing in flavor. After well over a year of global flavor trend research, Forest Pine was ultimately selected out of over 100 potential flavors to become the 2026 Flavor of the Year.

Torani Puremade Forest Pine Syrup hits the market at a time when botanical and foraged flavors are moving from niche to mainstream. According to Datassential, lavender has grown 34% over the past four years, paving the way for wilder, more woodsy notes like pine to shine. Pine’s aromatic freshness has long been featured in Nordic cuisine and is now beginning to appear on more US café and cocktail menus. Mainstream US brands are also releasing more botanical-inspired offerings in line with this trend, such as Poppi’s ‘Alpine Blast’ soda and Dunkin’s ‘Blueberry Breeze’ refresher with juniper.

Torani Forest Pine Syrup ($11.99) is available now on Torani.com and at World Market locations nationwide.
