Test it, as it’s intriguing and most enjoyable! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tastiest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'most enjoyable' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are superlative adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'test it as it's intriguing' is the wordplay.
'test it as' anagrams to 'TASTIEST'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tastiest that I've seen before include "It's most pleasant" , "Most flavoursome" , "Most savoury and toothsome" , "Most delicious" .)
