London has hard water which makes tea taste terrible. Here’s my own personal routine that must be performed so I don’t go off on a northern rant.
- Descale regularly.
Kettles get covered in limescale really quickly. If you’ve never descaled yours, take a look inside. See all that white stuff stuck to the bottom and floating in the water? That’s limescale. Buy a descaler (the main brand is called Oust) and use it. Then suddenly the kettle is clean again.
- Buy a Brita filter
Those magic jugs you’ve seen advertised, they help clear the crap out of tapwater. Use one of those before you pour the water into the kettle.
- Use proper teabags
Yorkshire Tea makes a teabag especially for hard water. Buy those.
- Tear open a pack of Jaffa Cakes and have a nice sit down.
This is not mandatory but advised.
