Odd. Our water is just as you nicely put:

If I do not use brita filter, one cup of black tea and the cup is brown. 3 cups and the cup is black. If I use brita filter, change filters every 4-5 weeks, then the first stains appear only 3 weeks after I change the filter, still only a little bit. I don't mention filtered water at work because they change the filter once in a year, if ever?

Second cuppa.
Roasted mate.
