I finished the spring water from MO that doesn't mention additional
processing and won't buy it again not only because it didn't taste as good,
but also because it left the nastiest-looking film on the surface of my tea
and down the inside sides of my clear tumbler and cloudy crud on the
formerly clean element of my electric kettle after only one gallon. I recall
someone in the past asking about film on the surface of tea, but I don't
recall what kind of water was used (and am too busy to google).

My good-tasting spring water from TX was processed by carbon filtration, UV
treatment, microfiltration, and ozonation.
