Didn't purchase any though. <br /><br />Side note: there's one particular brand of coffee that blends their product to match the hard tap water of our southernmost province, Skåne. Interestingly enough it's very popular with many people in the rest of the country too. =)sparrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495769048890889472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-84867036805910165562012-02-04T01:24:26.481-08:002012-02-04T01:24:26.481-08:00Hello Ashleigh,

Not sure how I can help you, but I'm happy to tell you the limited knowledge I have about tea for hard water. <br /><br />You can reach me directly here: lahikmajoe (at) googlemail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691055489477622428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-56605525959351624362012-02-03T05:04:29.730-08:002012-02-03T05:04:29.730-08:00Hi,

I am using yorkshire tea and yorkshire tea for hard water as standard blends to compare. I am also investigating any other ways of removing the hard water from tea blends.<br /><br />If any further investigation or information is found I would be most gratefull to hear of this.Ashleighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-8411288758581231732011-11-15T03:27:31.771-08:002011-11-15T03:27:31.771-08:00We purchase filtered water here because our water ...We purchase filtered water here because our water is so hard. I can definitely tell the difference when I make my newbie tea. If I use tap water, it always makes the tea have a funny tang to it.<br /><br />I need to get my hands on some of that Yorkshire Gold, seeing as how I am just beginning tea (and loving it, even with my bagged tea that I am trying to use up). :-)Elizabeth Francoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05021787135697922725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-68036484990108004672011-11-12T13:35:06.553-08:002011-11-12T13:35:06.553-08:00Thanks everyone for the responses.

Im positive that different water affects the taste of tea, and I will try glacier water next time I'm in the mountains!<br /><br />@ManxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-72735319619951061222011-11-11T13:21:22.098-08:002011-11-11T13:21:22.098-08:00I think I'm spoiled here in Oregon because our...I think I'm spoiled here in Oregon because our tap tastes like spring water. I have brewed tea in Californian tap water and...ugh...never again. Even green rooibos couldn't save it. <br /><br />If you want a really awesome experience? Brew tea with *glacier* water.

I've lived in different places and brewed tea with different water, and the results can be pretty different.<br /><br />I also have been aware for a long time about companies, like Yorkshire tea, making tea specifically for hard water.<br /><br />However, I haven't tried any of these "hard water" blends, nor have I conducted any systematic tests of any sort of tea brewed with average water and hard water.<br /><br />This would be an interesting test to do, if you or anyone else wants to undertake it. I would be very interested in reading and sharing the results!Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.com
