According to chemists and water specialists, truly pure, ultrapure water has no taste at all, since flavor is derived from dissolved minerals and gases. This leads to the fascinating question: what does ultrapure water taste like when it is completely free of any of these impurities?

According to a 2020 study in The Journal of Water and Health, frequently boiling clean, sanitary tap water poses no significant health risk. This dispels the common concern that repeatedly boiled water is bad for you due to concentrated contaminants, though it can affect taste and may not be recommended for infants.

According to a 2015 study, the colder a liquid is, the less sensitive our taste buds become to certain flavors, a primary reason why ice water tastes better to many people. This preference for chilled water is more than just a feeling; it is a complex interplay of physiology, psychology, and chemistry that makes it so much more refreshing.
