Taste type
The Garden Purist
herb · fresh
You taste green — herbs, delicate florals, and produce at its clean, unhurried peak.
Your hexagon
The shape your signature makes on the six flavor families — solid is you, dashed is the corpus average.
Who you are
You'd take the herb-strewn salad, the just-picked tomato, the tea that smells like a meadow. Your palate is quiet and precise; you like to taste each thing for exactly what it is, without a heavy hand. Freshness, to you, isn't a garnish — it's the whole point.
What you love
Herbaceous
Green and alive — basil, cilantro, parsley, mint, dill. The just-picked note, torn in at the end, that lifts a dish and makes the whole plate taste fresh.
Floral
A whisper of the garden in bloom — rose, orange blossom, saffron, lavender, elderflower. Delicate and perfumed; a note that, used with a light hand, turns a dish quietly poetic.
Citrus
Sunlight in a squeeze — lemon, lime, orange zest, yuzu. Bright, perfumed acid that cuts richness and wakes the plate. A little zest can turn a heavy dish weightless.
How you like to cook
Beyond flavor — the disposition that shapes what lands on your table.
You favor the gentle and quiet — nothing shouting over the rest.
You like your components distinct — each thing tasting of itself.
You delight in hot-and-cold on one plate — the contrast is the thrill.
