As a lot of people know, when brewing tea the water can be as important
to the taste of the beverage as the leaves. It does bother me, though, to think of whats involved in trucking water halfway around the world just to improve the taste in my cup. I know there are products available to supply minerals small quantities of would change the taste of tea, but I havent studied them. Just as a probe into this topic, I wonder if anyone could suggest a way to supplement, say, filtered New York City tap water http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/pdf/wsstate09.pdf (mineral analysis on p. 12) so its composition would approximate Volvic mineral water? http://www.mineralwaters.org/index.p...sp&parval=2761 If Scott Dorsey tells me, just add N milligrams/liter of Burton Water Salts, Ill be a happy man, but I kind of doubt it - theres papain in there, right? /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |
