Well, what I was told by an old Englishman who was a physicist and
a tea lover was that the LACK of dissolved gasses made the tea
taste flat.  

I note that someone on the net commented about minerals and distilled
water.  Again, since distilled water has no  minerals, it can't be
a mineral taste.  Since it has no dissolved gases, it CAN taste flat
because of that.  Try pouring it back and forth between two glasses
about 20 times, maximizing the in-glass splashing.  Makes a big difference.
