Let's ignore, for the moment, the very surprising post-brew result.
If adding small quantities (the exact quantities we aren't sure of
yet) of certain minerals to brewing tea makes it taste better, then
maybe those - what, Mongolian? - rocks some people put in their
kettles actually help. They release *some* amount of minerals in hot
water, right? It's a question of amount, isn't it?
