Can you taste differences in various kinds of water?
Are you a water connoisseur?
I prefer my water from this one source - a tap in my grandma house. Frankly my house tap water is just 6/10. But her water is almost sweet it is very tasty.
Is there a terminology to describe the taste of water?
yes, my favorite drinking water is the one in my hometown, straight tapped from a mountain spring... filtered mineral water just isn't the same, and purified water just tastes off imo
Yes. The content of various common minerals can vary by orders of magnitude across different sources. Though I pay attention to this less on its own and more in the context of brewing tea, since the water you use affects the outcome quite a lot.
I’m sure there is, though I’ve never looked into it. If it’s tap water, the approximate range for some of the minerals is usually on your local water quality report.
Of course, it varies massively from one place to another.
Ours is fine straight from the tap here (north east England) but other parts of the country need to filter theirs. Scottish people will be at pains to tell you how amazing theirs is but also they're not wrong. On the other hand we road tripped across the US one time and while it was fine in most places I remember specifically the water in Oakhurst, California tasted of oil. It was absolutely rank. I now understand why bottled water exists.
yes. This is due to the water content such as lime etc. This differs from Brand to Brand or through how much lead pipes your tap water flowed and how dirty your tap aerator is.
