Flavour

Flavour has two different meanings. For leptons, it is the label used to differentiate the three generations. That is to say, electrons, muons, and taus are said to have different flavor. For quarks, it is a label that discriminates between all quarks of different masses. There are six known flavours of quarks: up(u), down(d), strange(s), charm(c), bottom(b), and top(b).
