Filtered Water Pitcher for Brewing
The quality of the water you use to make iced tea has a more significant impact on the final flavour than most people realise, and a filtered water pitcher is the simplest way to ensure your brewing water is as clean and neutral as possible. Tap water in many Canadian cities contains chlorine, chloramines, and dissolved minerals that can interfere with the delicate flavour compounds in high-quality loose leaf tea — particularly green and white teas, where the flavour is subtle and easily masked. A good carbon filter removes chlorine and most off-flavours, leaving water that is clean, neutral, and ready to let the tea speak for itself. The pitcher format means filtered water is always available in the fridge without the cost or waste of bottled water, and the large capacity — typically two to three litres — means you can fill a full cold brew batch without multiple filter cycles. For anyone who has invested in quality loose leaf tea, a filtered water pitcher is the logical next step.
