Stopping smoking, avoided 99% of all sugars, and only drank water or black coffee to reset my palette. Took about 3 months of this to "discover" new flavors/scents I've been eating for years.
>I don't know how to describe the feelings in my mouth, if that makes sense
Consider learning different ways to describe what you wish to describe. I learned most of my stuff from watching Good Eats and Kitchen Nightmares.
>How do I learn to tell the difference between bitterness, sourness, and acidity?
Practice, repetition, and practice. Explore different foods. Smell before you taste. Then smell after you taste. Act like a perplexed ape.
Lastly, those coffee heads are like wine fags. 99.999% of them cannot tell what they're drinking. It's a social status thing. They get off on paying $49.99/kg of [Insert laundry list of snakeoil certifications] coffee bean.
I'm a coffee purist. Does it have a lot of caffeine? Yes? Ok it's good coffee.
To each their own. Good luck, anon.
