I am back home in ZImbabwe for a bit, and I cannot get decent water to
drink my teas with that I purchased in london. The water has a very
high lime content as it comes from a well and the botttled water
available here is either poluted or also from a well. My kettle has a
lot of chalky looking stuff in it and the tea tatste awful Can hardly
tatse the nice qualities and its a real shame , any ideas on what I
can add or do to the water to get a better brew. Thanks


Can you get distilled water? I know it's not much good by itself, but if
you use five parts RO or distilled water to one part of chalky water, the
results can be better than either one alone.
