Help with taste
Hi all:
I am trying to describe how a raw banana taste (or perhaps a raw guava): in chinese there is a term that can describe it very well - its like a texture more than a taste. A description of it is that it makes your tongue less smooth and makes it harder (perhaps even drier) to move around - thats the best way I can descrribe it! -however I cannot find an english equivalent for it. I've been asking people I know, everybody seem to know what I am talking about but no one seem to know the word for it!
Any help will be greatly appreciated by me as well as some of the people I know!
thank you

It sounds like a whole series of descriptive vocabulary based on how one's mouth physically reacts to different tastes, that just doesn't translate more like.
