this super food is not to be cooked, otherwise, it would lose its nutritional qualities. we invite you to add it in a dishes already cooked and ready to be served. regardless of which water you use to make your tea, the following important parameters apply:  
1) the best is just fresh from the tap, if possible. water which has been in the tea kettle overnight or has been boiled more than once is no longer fresh and full of oxygen which contributes significantly to the quality of the flavour of your tea. “old” water often tastes bland or flat.  
2) good tasting water is fresh, oxygenated, and full of natural minerals. if you live in an area which has “hard” tapwater (especially high mineral or lime content), your tea may have a “furry” taste, and a film may develope on the surface of the tea that can hinder the developing tea flavours. in areas with especially hard water, we recommend using either a water filter or bottled water with a low mineral content.mineral water is generally unsuitable for making tea, because of its high mineral content. a few mineral waters have a very low mineral content, however, making them okay to use for tea. such bottled waters are often labelled “low mineral” and/or “light”. all me teas are labelled with the optimal water temperature and steeping time. you can, of course, steep your me teas for more or less time, depending on your tastes. if the tea tastes bitter to you, try steeping your next cup or kettle for a bit less time, or slightly reduce the amount of tea used. to increase flavour, try steeping your tea for a minute or so longer, or simply use a bit more tea. our moringa is grown using the best organic farming methods, without the use of pesticides and herbicides. and plants grown without the use of chemicals are healthier, more potent, and their nutrients (and no toxic chemicals) are absorbed more efficiently by the body.
