The tea water

The taste and appearance of tea are largely determined by the quality of the water. For brewing aromatic, warm beverages, soft and low-lime water is always preferred over hard water. While tap water is generally perfectly drinkable, it is not equally suitable for preparing good tea in every region.

In some areas, tap water contains a relatively high amount of lime or chlorine. These substances can negatively affect the taste of the tea and cause subtle aromas to be less pronounced. In such cases, using a water filter can provide a solution.

A water filter

A water filter removes unwanted substances such as chlorine, lead, and copper from the water. This not only improves the taste but also the clarity of the tea. Tap water is simply poured into the accompanying filter jug, after which it is automatically filtered.

The filtered water can then be used immediately and is ideal for brewing tea, but also for other applications where lime can be disruptive, such as coffee or cooking. Furthermore, filtered water prevents the formation of a cloudy film on the tea and reduces limescale in cups and kettles.

Kettle maintenance

Do you use a kettle to heat your water for a cup of tea? Good maintenance of the kettle is essential for maintaining water quality and the taste of the tea. Regular descaling prevents the buildup of limescale, which not only extends the life of the appliance but also keeps the water taste pure. Descaling can be done easily with a special descaler or with a mixture of water and vinegar. Always rinse the kettle thoroughly after descaling to ensure no residue remains.
