To savor a taste, we need to breathe the aroma through our nose

Explanation:

A cold is a respiratory track infection which is caused due to different viruses. The cold is usually transmitted by the airborne droplets which are virus infected. It may also caused by the direct contact with the infected secretions. The general symptoms of common cold are:

runny nose soar throat cough sneezing

In the context, a person having cold and a runny nose cannot enjoy the taste of coffee as he cannot savor the taste of the coffee by smelling it. He or she cannot get the aroma of the coffee.
