Brief Answer:
Taste buds responsible for bitter taste

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

What you have noticed on top of your tongue in the back are called taste buds. They are completely normal and responsible for bitter taste.

Keep a good oral hygiene though.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
