Slang/dialect?
"Schwarzer Eistee schmeckt pelzig, der grüne Eistee ist mild".
This seems to be to be slang/dialect again. Does it mean that black iced tea leaves behind a coating on your tongue or does it simply mean disgusting?
TIA!

Red wine astringency can be assertive and yet display very subtle nuances. Many words have been used to describe these. They include those that have been evoked by the feeling of having fine particles on the surface of your mouth (Powdery, Chalky, Grainy), those that relate to the roughness of the feeling inside the mouth (Silky, Emery, Velvety, Furry), and others can be related to the fact that the very astringent wines often cause your mouth to move (Pucker, Chewy, Grippy and Adhesive).

If you eat the unripe fruit, you\'ll find it can have a rather bitter and furry taste. That\'s because persimmons are rich in tannins, which are excellent antioxidants

Oversteeping tea will cause bitterness. With correct steeping the tannins, or natural acids, give flavor to the tea. When tea is oversteeped, it is the tannins that cause bitterness. Fruit and herbal tisanes may steep for as long as you like without causing bitterness as they contain no tannin.

Black iced tea leaves a numbing feeling in one's/your mouth...
Hi Sarah,
Usually, if the dentist gives you a shot of Novocaine, your mouth (tongue, gums, cheek etc.) feels funny, and we'd use the word "pelzig" (i.e. numb) in this context.
I've never heard the word "pelzig" in a "tea context", however, the connotation "pelzige Zunge" is used a lot...
Hope this helps :-)
Annika

\"The *term* \"pelzige Zunge\" is used a lot\". Scratch \"connotation\" :-)

It is a picture for a strange feeling on the tongue. I found this in an article about red wine - I hope it helps.

has a furry taste / gives you a furry feeling on the tongue
Does not mean disgusting, nor does it mean that it leaves a visible coating.
