Understanding tea flavours
Guys
I have been looking into this wonderful and impernetrable subject of tea chemistry and got struck in the terminology. I wonder if you could help. Apparently there are 6 tea tastes: astringent bitter fresh sweet sour salty Now, I have chosen the word fresh to correspond to the Chinese word Xian, or 鲜。It is what theanine tastes like. Can anyone think of a better word? If I say fresh tasting, would anyone know what it means?  Julian http://www.amazing-green-tea.com |
