Correct. I live on an island. We have potable tap water that is chlorinated. A simple filter at the tap is ok for that but we also have VERY hard water,(high mineral content). depending on the date and how deep the water came from, sometimes it is VERY EXTRA minerally… Tea then stinks and it tastes acrid. I am a tea and coffee lover so for the beverages we extra filter the water.

In reply to Denise Breslin. Sorry to hear this Denise! Now you have me curious about this as well... I'll have to look into it! Have you also tried using an electric kettle and seeing the results?

I’m sad and upset. Now that I have an electric stove, my wonderful tea doesn’t taste as good as it did when I boiled the water on the gas stove. I wonder if gas could be better taste wise for tea? GRRR

Tea enthusiasts will love to know these reasons. There are many factors which influence the taste of tea and we shouldn’t just blame the tea. It’s good to know the reasons why a cup of tea can taste bad.

Overnight filtered water boiled a couple of times is as good as water can be in North America. But it’s nothing like Japan’s soft water.

In reply to Grace & Green. Yes, matcha was something I did not like at first, too. I'm so grateful that I learned about different qualities of matcha and gave it another chance!
