Tips

register
味源 is not a common stand-alone word in everyday Chinese; it reads as a transparent compound of (taste) + (source). You will most often meet it as a brand name for soy sauce, vinegar, or seasoning products. Treat unknown occurrences as a proper-noun brand fragment unless the surrounding text clearly uses it descriptively.
