A Lexicon was developed for yerba mate tea including attributes, definitions, and references to describe the color, aroma, and flavor. A highly trained panel generated 39 attributes and evaluated 18 samples of tea. Some attributes such as smoky, woody, straw‐like, ashy, astringent, bitter, sweet aromatics, musty dusty, and dark green were present in most of the samples. Other characteristics such as green, floral, spice brown, and petroleum‐like appeared in less than 50% of the samples. The sensory profile of mate tea was complex but differed for various teas. This terminology can be useful for manufacturers, producers, and consumers and helpful for the standardization of mate tea.

开发用于伴侣茶的初步感官词典

为马黛茶开发了一个词汇，包括属性，定义和描述颜色，香气和风味的参考。训练有素的小组产生了39个属性，并评估了18个茶样品。大多数样品中都具有一些特性，例如烟熏，木质，稻草样，灰暗，涩，苦，甜芳香剂，发霉的尘土和深绿色。不到50％的样品出现了其他特征，例如绿色，花卉，香料棕色和类似石油的特征。伴侣茶的感官特征很复杂，但对于各种茶而言却有所不同。此术语对制造商，生产商和消费者有用，并且对伴侣茶的标准化有用。
