Can you add raw water to tea?

As ntv.ru reports, adding unboiled water to tea does not pose any danger.

And even tap water in the old days could be unsafe.

Therefore, it was strictly forbidden to mix unboiled water with boiled water or add it to drinks.

Nowadays, in most large cities, the water treatment system is well established, and there are no dangerous microbes in tap water, notes ntv.ru.
