flavorlessness

Complete taste void

Flavorlessness is the quality of having no taste—the absence of any distinctive flavor.

Food or drink that is flavorless registers as bland or neutral on the palate: The flavorlessness of the hospital food made every meal a chore.

The word extends to anything lacking character or interest: the flavorlessness of corporate architecture.
