They are chemoreceptors called gustatory organs and they are on the surface of your tongue.
The finger is more sensitive to touch. The tongue is more sensitive to temperature. Test it out for your self!
Because they are less sensitive to small decreases in arterial Po2 level.
Chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) respond to chemicals in food and scents.

Chemoreceptors
Chemoreceptors are classified as sensory cells or organs that respond to chemical stimuli. The nose and tongue are both equipped with chemoreceptors.
Different areas of the human tongue have sensitivities to different tastes. Each of these areas contains proportionately more of certain chemoreceptors. Typically, the middle-front of the tongue is more sensitive to sweet tastes, the sides to salty tastes, the center-back to sour tastes, and the very back to bitter tastes.

Tongue maps reveal that the tip of the tongue is the part that is the most sensitive to salty taste. However, recent research argues that tongue maps are not valid and that an individual's taste buds experience taste the same.
You can find chemoreceptors in your tongue (taste buds) and in your olfactory system (your nose).
