RO should be used if you have hard water with a lot of salts etc. Tea made with hard water is horrible. So RO water is better. However, RO also removes some of the good stuff in water . The quality of water does affect the taste of the tea. Color of the tea ??? I dont think so. You may have changed the brand of your tea ?
I use RO since Gurgaon does not have clean or soft water. Tea is ok. Add some ginger to it !
