Do you know that thing where people can hear/taste/smell colours?

It's apparently called Synesthesia
("a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway").

I was reminded of it when I was drinking my tea just now.
I thought there was something about the taste that reminded me of something and I just figured it out,
Curly hair.
It's the taste that I always associated with curly hair. That whenever I thought of/saw curly hair it's almost what I thought it would taste like? (I obviously know that hair taste like hair no matter what type, but it's hard to explain.)

So apparently (according to some sort of sensory association) curly hair tastes like lemongrass, apple pomace, blackberry leaves, cinnomon, roasted chicory root, ginger, orange peel, vervain leaves, lemon peel (and some other flavourants thrown in there too) tea.

Probably why I like curly hair so much...or it could be why I like the tea so much.

Also, I find that colours tend to have a specific underlying taste of their own.
For example the colour pink always has a (very) vague taste of fresh cherries, or how sunshine and butter has a similar-ish sort of taste to them.

I tested this through an experiment where I licked 3 different red things.
I found that they (despite the taste of their material)each had the same underlying taste.

I don't think I have Synesthesia (except for maybe with the cherries/pink and curly hair/tea thing) I think it's more just something most people don't notice.
It's not that I associate the colours with anything it's that they seem to have their own taste in themselves.
