What kind of water should be used to brew tea?
Bottled or filtered tap water is best. Avoid using hard or chlorinated water. Do not use hot tap water, since it sometimes contains heavy minerals such as lead, and an ‘off-taste’. Water should be brought to a rolling boil, but never allowed to boil on too long, as this tends to dissipate the air bubbles, thereby ‘flattening’ the tea flavor.
