Answers:
Water tastes good when it has minerals in it!.
Ever notice how bottled water tastes like plastic!?

From Aqueduct Magazine:
"Water should have a positive taste," von Wiesenberger said!. "There shouldn't be the absence of anything!. For water to taste correctly on the palate, there must be certain minerals present!. Potassium, magnesium, calcium and even small amounts of sodium give water its fullness!. If not for these minerals, water, such as distilled water, tastes flat and dull!."

The key, though, explained von Wiesenberger, lies in the ideal combination and concentration of these minerals!. Good tasting water is a subtle combination of flavors!.

"When there is a balance of minerals, they are harmonious and not offensive to taste," von Wiesenberger said!. "A perfect concentration of minerals adds to the subtle nuances of a product whose most sought after quality is often considered to be tastelessness!. Too high a mineral concentration and water takes on a tinny, metallic taste!. Too low and water tastes dull and flat!.

"Minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and silica give water a softness, a silkiness" von Wiesenberger added!. "Body is another important element to the taste of water!. It gives water roundness on the tongue as opposed to water produced by reverse osmosis, which oftentimes is bland tasting!. Water should taste as if it had just been scooped from a running stream!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

I wish I could say that water is tasteless, but I feel that it is not!. Like Ozarka, when I drink it, I get this metal taste--like I put a penny in my mouth!. This is why I don't drink as much water as I am supposed to!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
