This is not a review of the tea, but I used it for a little water comparison today. Having returned from Europe recently, I received a bottle of water from Iceland on an Icelandair flight, which I noticed had interesting parameters – high pH and low minerality (about 65 ppm). I decided to keep it and do a side by side comparison with the water I normally use. Unfortunately, I don’t really have any specific parameters for that one, but I expect it to have a fairly neutral pH and dissolved solids between 50 and 150 ppm.
Overall, I can’t say I preferred one over the other, but there were some noticeable differences. The Icelandic water produced a harsher, more vibrant and bitter brew with softer mouthfeel, while my regular water gave rise to a more acidic, fruity and rounded tea with thinner and more powdery texture.
It’s hard to make any conclusions because of the lack of information, but it was interesting little comparison nonetheless :)
