Why does fresh rosemary taste dry? I don’t mean it tastes like dried rosemary, but i don’t know how else to describe how it makes my tongue feel. Why is it like that?

It’s the acids and related compounds. Basically, the various components are similar to those in dry wines, teas, and even weed. It’s a mishmash of terpenes as well.
But they all have some degree of that astringent effect.
Tannic acid is a big one for that.
