sapid
Having good flavor
Sapid means flavorful or tasty—having a distinct, agreeable taste: a sapid broth, sapid summer tomatoes.
By extension, it describes anything engaging or stimulating to the mind: sapid prose, a sapid conversation.
The word is somewhat literary and uncommon, the opposite of insipid.
