It is also very much defined by what is in it, and what it has been in. Water is known as "the universal solvent" because damn near everything is eroded somewhat by it, which then ends up in the water. That's why even distilled bottled water has a distinct taste that is different from water from the pipes in your house which is different from freshly filtered water, even if drank at exactly the same temperature.
You're almost never tasting water. You're tasting everything in the water. And 100% pure H2O can actually fucking kill you!
