Abstract
A method for producing a flavor source that supports an inhaling flavor component contained in a tobacco raw material, comprises: step A of performing an alkali treatment on the tobacco raw material; and step B of arranging an alkali-treated tobacco raw material and a flavor base material configured by non-tobacco material within a same space in such a way that the alkali-treated tobacco raw material and the flavor base material are maintained in a non-contacting state, thereby inducing the flavor base material to support the inhaling flavor component emitted as a vapor phase from the tobacco raw material.
