Selected answer:"touch" [with lips and tongue]
Explanation:
This brief is trying to use imagery and involve all the senses to create magic for this product--make it more appealing. A tea connoisseur (or even a taster) can actually talk in these terms if asked.

Just trying to create vivid imagery... and increasing the effect further by comparing the Golden Rose Tea to "a bouquet of desires in a golden cup."

It seems advertising people are giving a tough race to poets of yore.

Touching one's heart


Explanation:
I'm thinking this is trying to get at matters of the heart because of the words that come next: a bouquet of *desires*.

neutral  Tony M: But your suggestions hardly seems to fit with the other three senses?

  -> Yeah, I know. That's why I chose only "medium" as my confidence level. This is just my best guess. Probably best to ask the author as BD Finch suggested, if possible.

agree  Yvonne Gallagher: No way to know but imo more likely to be a noun=senses as desires. Your guess at least as good as the other. Just because guesses required doesn't make word itself "Pro"
