I started drinking tea for health and wondered whether deionized water extracts more or less of the good stuff. This study confirms it extracts more of the healthy substances than regular water, though it makes it taste more bitter. I use reverse-osmosis filtering followed by an ion-exchange resin filter (ZeroWater) to deionize it.

Deionized water can strip minerals from your body since it has none of it's own. It's also damaging to your teeth for that same reason.

It has no taste of it's own, so the bitter you get is the tea unmoderated by water's natural mineral content.
