But it's an interesting point.Â* Why would something have no taste?

Because it doesn't activate any taste bud.

With respect 'activating taste buds' is simplified GCSE biology stuff.

Assuming you're not eating or drinking now, what do you taste? How does
that change when you take a sip of water? Is that because your taste
buds sense something different?

There is no zero, no non-taste.
