This article constructs a flavor wheel for Pu'er tea and Fu brick tea from the dimensions of aroma and taste, establishing a sensory quantitative descriptive vocabulary list for both teas. The aim is to determine sensory descriptive terms that can be used to describe Pu'er tea and Fu brick tea, providing application value for distinguishing, evaluating their sensory characteristics, and developing products related to these teas. In this study, 35 representative samples of Pu'er tea and 35 of Fu brick tea from different years and origins were selected (Table 1). Referring to the black tea sensory evaluation method in GB/T 23776—2018 "Sensory Evaluation Method for Tea," the aroma and taste of the teas were evaluated. This led to a comprehensive understanding of the sensory flavor characteristics of both types of black tea and the further construction of a flavor wheel. The Pu'er tea flavor wheel, as shown in Figure 1, includes two categories: aroma and taste. The outermost layer contains specific descriptors, totaling 40. Aroma descriptors include aged fragrance, camphor aroma, ginseng-like aroma, herbal medicine aroma, soybean aroma, hay aroma, jujube aroma, lactic acid scent, fresh aroma, floral honey aroma, mushroom aroma, smoky charred scent, and 31 others.
