tap is of uncertain ph and contains many various dissolved solids so distilled gives everyone a uniform baseline. being free of dissolved solids, it more readily sucks up any into the solution. |

Indeed, natural river water in Amazon area is slightly Acid. & The people I know, all of them use tap or mineral water for tea.

huasca's funny that way. plant potency is extremely variable. i recently brewed a batch i thought was pretty much guaranteed to blow my head off and got nadda, ziltch, zip. i was pretty bummed after spending 2 days slow brewing and chopping and grinding and straining, then choking down the vile brew only to sit there with a belly ache and no trip. anyone know how long challiponga leaves are good for ? maybe mine are getting old or something.
