What is the best water for making a cup of tea?
Water is a key ingredient of tea. Always use fresh water since the taste of your cuppa can be negatively affected by stale water. You need to use the best quality water possible. Bottled spring water is perfect (or filtered tap water) due to its purity and lack of additives such as chlorine and fluoride which can adversely affect the taste of your tea. However, most people have to settle for tap water. The good news is that running water picks up oxygen and fully oxygenated water is best for tea. Never use re-boiled water as it contains less oxygen than running tap water.
