Probably everyone reading this is familiar with the idea that aroma is
a big part of the experience of tea. It says here that scientists
have devised a way to quantify the concept of one aroma being similar
to another:

They claim their model actually has predictive power, which is to say,
if their map declares to substances similar in odor, humans will in
fact experience them as similar. And their coordinat system needs
only 40 dimensions!
