It was open stage night in rec.food.drink.tea, when Ripon stepped
up to the microphone and muttered:

I would like to know what kind of water do you use during your
tea brewing. Spring water or mineral water? I use Evian or Mont
Fleur(French Mineral water) or Pits( Austrilian spring water).
To me resuts are different. What about you?


I've used tap water, but could taste the chlorine in the tea, especially on
second and third infusions. I tried a local mineral water that I'm drinking
as part of a diet I'm on. The black teas came out with a strange film on top
and light in color and flavor. The same held true for greens except I
didn't notice the film on top. So I've been using bottled spring water
which seems to consistently brew a nice cup of tea.
