herbal notes

Green flavor hints

Herbal notes are scents or flavors reminiscent of fresh or dried herbs—grassy, green, sometimes medicinal or earthy.

The term appears most often in descriptions of wine, tea, perfume, and spirits: The wine has herbal notes of thyme and sage.

Herbal notes suggest freshness and complexity, distinguishing a product from purely fruity or floral profiles.
