Do Tea Water Matter?  The answer is Yes.

The best water for tea is purified water because it has a completely neutral pH of 7. Purified water keeps the tea from developing off-flavors from the pH properties of the water it’s brewed in. Some types of water, such as tap water and mineral water, are too alkaline to be good for brewing tea. Even though you can effectively make a pot of tea with any water as long as it’s clean, the type of water you use when you brew your tea can make it taste much different depending on what kind of water you use. Even though you can effectively make a pot of tea with any water as long as it’s clean, the type of water you use when you brew your tea can make it taste much different depending on what kind of water you use.
