flavorsome
Full of taste
Flavorsome describes food or drink that has a rich, satisfying taste.
It's the British English spelling of the more American *flavorful*, and carries the same meaning: full of flavor, tasty, appetizing.
The chef prepared a flavorsome stew with herbs from the garden.
The word suggests something worth savoring rather than merely edible.
