"Being a skeptical sommelier, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Tongue & Cheek Palate Cleansers! They make tasting wine back-to-back a much more pleasant experience. Not having as much palate fatigue helps me identify nuance in wine more easily after a long tasting. I'm excited to keep using them!"

FAQ

How do the strips work?

Tongue & Cheek® Palate Cleansers are instant dissolving strips designed to neutralize lingering flavors between tastings. Simply place one strip on your tongue, rub it around your mouth, and allow it to fully dissolve before your next sip or bite.

Will they impact flavor?

Our strips are designed to be subtle and neutral, helping reduce lingering flavors without influencing the next taste. The goal is to help you experience each tasting with greater clarity.

When should I use them?

Use between wine pours, tasting flights, food pairings, coffee tastings, spirits, or anytime you want to reset your palate between flavors.

Are they flavorless?

The strips are intentionally very subtle in flavor so they cleanse without significantly affecting the tasting experience.

How long do they take to dissolve?

Typically, each strip dissolves in under 30 seconds. Dissolve time may vary depending on whether you let the strip rest on your tongue or gently move it around your mouth.
