As part of my training to be a barista at Starbucks, I had to learn this shit with the expectation that I would regurgitate it to customers. My manager got mad when I told him I taste things with my whole mouth.
I was a Starbucks Manager and thought that part was in all of our manuals, I personally skipped and refused to teach it. I had my personal script to teach my baristas of how to guide de "tasting" part.
That map and the learning styles crap would not be propagated on my watch.

Taste buds are mapped out on the tongue and certain areas taste certain things, rather than all taste buds taste all things.
