According to an article from Alodokter, the human mouth has around 10,000 taste buds spread across the tongue, the roof of the mouth, and the throat. 

Also from the same source, a bitter taste in the mouth is a common disorder of the taste senses known as dysgeusia. Some of the causes include medication consumption, acid reflux disease, pregnancy, illness, and dry mouth.
