I used to Brita-filter it, but I ceased doing it (laziness, I guess, also maybe a bit better water than it was where I lived five years ago) and I do not think that my tea drinking experience would be worse.<br /><br />I considered using bamboo charcoal, but again, I was too little motivated to do so. After all, I realized that the water is quite good here. <br /><br />And if I want ultimately good water, I just use the Chao Zhou stove and kettle.<br /><br />Also, there are cheaper options than usual 1-2 liter bottles of water in markets which might be helpful to you - 20l or so barrels should last for a while and they are generally much cheaper.<br /><br />Another option would be finding a local spring. Although most of springs in cities may be polluted, there are several good springs even in Prague....<br /><br />JakubJakub Tomekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641381393855983478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787049119265045160.post-77704742547915228912012-09-01T15:14:01.261+02:002012-09-01T15:14:01.261+02:00Nice post indeed.

My partner and I both hate even drinking tap water filtered here. I tried it with tea once, and it was truly foul. <br /><br />It seems that you are able to use tap without ruining the experience. Do you use it normally when brewing (excuse me if you have noted this as I read your blog all the time, but my memory suffers from early 90s club days)? And if yes, have you considered using bamboo charcoal to reduce/eliminate the slight chemical note?discipleofthetealeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951770887062358879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787049119265045160.post-61204986105524791752012-09-01T10:31:06.735+02:002012-09-01T10:31:06.735+02:00Interesting post, Jakub.

Brita removes most of the hardness but not all plus adds a different kind of "aroma" to it than e.g. bottled kind of water like Evian in your case has. It is like having three different impressions out of one particular tea.<br /><br />All the best,<br />-ER-ADAMUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956207425758609786noreply@blogger.com
