Actually if you tried distilled water, it tastes awful.
So taste of “waters” (which indeed can be excellent) is the taste of what in them is not water.
Correct. It’s mostly the dissolved minerals that give water its flavour. For tap water, the disinfection chemicals (namely chlorine) also contribute to the taste, with some people saying they associate it with being refreshing while other people claiming it to have an off taste (either way the tiny amount of chlorine is perfectly safe in case anyone is worried).
