    Lemon juice has a sour taste due to the presence of a high concentration of citric acid. Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in many citrus fruits. When you take a sip of lemon juice, the citric acid interacts with taste buds on your tongue, specifically those located on the sides and back, triggering the sour taste sensation.
