Humans have approximately 100,000 taste buds and each one is connected to the brain by a nerve. Each taste bud senses one of four basic stimuli - sweet, sour, bitter and salty - from various parts of the tongue.
This, then, adds to the debate whether the best drinking water tastes like nothing or whether it has flavor.
Water should have taste, but it's one that most experts agree shouldn't stand out. It can be good tasting or bad and that goes back to the presence of minerals in it. For instance, the absence of sulfur and chlorine add to the taste of the water.
People tend to like what they are used to especially if they have been drinking the same water for a long time. Often people like the water they grew up with because they have imprinted that taste.
In von Wiesenberger's words, good tasting water is like drinking a fine wine. It has to have substance and resonance.

Depends on where you drink it. In Upper Marlboro, MD, when I was there in the early 70's, the water tasted like blood (heavy on the iron taste).
Amarillo water used to have a "stale, mildewy" taste.
Canyon (20 miles south of Amarillo), however, had well water and it was delicious... it tasted like water... which is how water is supposed to taste.
Lubbock water, all I can say is, it tastes so funky, that even the restaurants put lemon in the water they serve.
San Antonio has what they call hard water... I say it has a mildewy taste.

Hey I love minerals
That's why the water from different springs tastes differently, there is a varied mineral content.
But I understand what Leilani above me is saying, some bottled waters have altered mineral contents to adjust their flavor.

Pure water will have no taste, its the minerals and the other junk thats in it that gives it flavor.
