Mineral-rich
If you like a water you can really taste, start here.
Criterion: TDS or dry residue over 1,500 mg/L: the EU “rich in mineral salts” level.
Why it matters
More dissolved minerals means more taste. WHO cites taste panels rating water good up to 600 mg/L and unacceptable above 1,200 mg/L. Taste is personal, so treat this as a guide.
