My water comes from an aquifer 500 feet below me. My tea kettle looks
like the Grand Canyon. When I change out the batteries on the smoke
detectors I clean out the faucets and washing machine filters. I've
gotten use to the mineral taste and when I drink other water I find it
odd tasting. People say my water taste better than theirs.

As far as I understand it's a common advice here to filter tap water
for tea. Is that wrong, then? How many people here use plain tap to
make tea?

I use filtered NYC tap at home.
