I once did a taste test making tea with water starting from hot and
cold water, and there was indeed a noticable difference.  The people I
served it to also noticed the difference, and I didn't tell them what
it was.  (They thought it was a different blend of tea.)  Interestingly
enough, there was nowhere near a concensus as to which tasted *better*.

When boiling water for cooking noodles or anything of that sort, I
always start with hot water.  It is far more energy efficient to let
your water heater heat the water than your stove.
