What is the strange taste feeling that one gets when eating a quince or unripe plum or persimmon? [duplicate]

There is a particular taste that I could never quite translate in English. It is not bitter, although it sometimes occurs with it. The best example is eating a raw quince fruit. The mouth and tongue get a sort of dry feeling. Similar taste can be experienced with some persimmon fruit, and unripe plums. I know the word in French (âpre) and Bulgarian (стипцив). Google translates these as rough, but that somehow seems unlikely. Any ideas?

Astringent, maybe?

Astringent taste is the least common of all the 6 Tastes and can be found in legumes (such as beans and lentils), fruits (including cranberries, pomegranates, pears, and dried fruit), vegetables (such as, broccoli, cauliflower, artichoke, asparagus and turnip), grains (such as rye, buckwheat, and quinoa), spices and herbs (including turmeric and marjoram), coffee, and tea.

"Astringent" is excellent. But, if you are looking for a more common term. Consider harsh.

Unripe persimmon is extremely mouth-puckering.
