Water quality
Water quality plays a key role in the preparation of tea and can have a significant influence on its flavour and aroma.
Ideal water for tea should be free from undesirable flavours and odours. Water containing limescale can affect the flavour of the tea and leave an undesirable film on the surface of the drink. Chlorine and other chemicals in the water can also distort the flavour of the tea.
The best water for making tea is low-lime, unchlorinated water. Alternatively, you can also use filtered water or high-quality table water. It is advisable to cool the water before infusion in order to increase its oxygen content and reduce the lime and chlorine content.
Choosing the right water is crucial for a perfect tea experience. By using high-quality water, you can ensure that your tea can develop its full flavour and you can enjoy a first-class drinking experience.
