If your water tastes good without tea, chances are it will taste good with tea. And the opposite is true also. Steeped tea is over 95% water, so this matters a lot.

A few tips:

  • If your water does taste bad out of the tap, most filters available work pretty well: Britta, Pur, etc.

  • Avoid distilled water, your tea will taste flat.

  • Bottled water and spring waters are usually ok, although keep in mind that Evian is naïve spelled backwards.
