Water Quality and Tea

I have a general question about water quality and what impact it has on the taste of tea. *I'm thinking of pH, mineral content etc. Is there any one factor that is most significant in contributing to off taste? *Is anyone using bottled water or distilled water or deionized water to make tea? Does anyone have experience with making tea from water that has been run through a reverse osmosis filtering system? Thanks in advance, Alton The general knowledge about this topic is that water with a higher mineral content will allow the flavors in the tea to come out better; science aside. They say here that spring water is best for tea with well water and river water being less desired.
