Just add a little more sand to your mix when you use animal manures and you won't have drainage problems.
As for what you can do to get more flavor, well you can only provide the essentials. There are so many factors that effect flavor, the major one being the growing season in itself, that its impossible to control the outcome.
On top of what you put in your mix, making your own tea concentrate using kitchen scraps, seed meals, fish guts, coffee grounds, and yard waste and diluting it and watering your plants with it every few weeks might be something you want to try. The more varied the sources the better.
