Definition
回味 (huíwèi) as a verb means to savor and recall a pleasant experience, combining memory with emotional enjoyment — unlike 回想 (huíxiǎng 'recall', just thinking back) or 品味 (pǐnwèi 'savor', which focuses on immediate appreciation). Its noun sense is an aftertaste or lingering impression, often figurative, unlike 味道/味/滋味 (direct taste/flavor).
