Dear Toronto Water:
YOU SUCK!!!… all the goodness out of Darjeeling tea. You leeched out the lovely deep fruity round and delicate notes and left me with soggy flowers and mulch.
Please leave my innocent Darjeelings alone. I offer you my White teas in lieu. Deal?
Sincerely,
your neighbourhood tea lover IndigoBloom

Unfortunately we are all left to buy spring water…ah well…
Hmm. The water in south Calgary is…gross…and has floaty things in it. We’ve had a water dispenser/mini fridge in our kitchen since we moved in, basically, and instead of bottled water, we have a charcoal filter on top. Seems to work pretty well. Maybe you could get a small charcoal filter for inside your fridge?
we have a water filter in the fridge but use it mostly for drinking. It flows so slowly that we usually use tap water. Maybe I’ll experiment one day and try it with filtered. or distilled :)
Honestly, my daughter and I both buy Spring Water especially for the non highly flavored tea’s and another thing that helps tap water is to let it run for a minute to decrease the icky taste that I seem to find especially in the Winter. Rocky Mountain water is way better than the Silicon Valley water I used to drink (Morgan Hill,California had awful water). I should get a Brita water filter I guess to save money.
Funny, I actually quite enjoy it for drinking, and Toronto is known for having decent tap watero. I wonder if it has to do with soft/hot water… I’ll try this one with filtered water and see if it makes a difference!!
kidnaps all your white teas to save them from this horrible fate
LOL But they can’t be kidnapped if they follow you home!
grin I am the Pied Piper of White Teas!
I have a Brita filter but oddly enough I never use the filtered water to make tea. I’ve heard our water comes from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir in Yosemite National Park and it’s supposed to be pretty good.
