Study on Water Quality Characteristics of Mineral Water in Tea Literatures

In this study, mineral water was selected based on the tea literatures. The results of the analysis of the water quality of the selected mineral water are as follows. 1. As a result of the field survey, the pH, ORP, DO, conductivity, salinity and temperature satisfied Korean water quality standards (spring water). 2. In the inorganic and organic substances analysis, no hazardous inorganic substances were detected. Some harmful organic substances were detected, but the mineral water satisfied the Korean water quality standards (spring water) and can be used as tea water. 3. In terms of its aesthetic impact, the material analysis suggested that the mineral water generally satisfied the Korean drinking water quality standards (spring water). The level of iron was high in some areas and, consequently, the frequency of use of the water was low. The level of iron had no influence on health, but it did influence the taste of the tea. 4. Overall, the water described in the tea literatures is judged to satisfy Korean drinking water quality standards (spring water), but it is necessary to clean it to make it less for turbid.
