Most of us have some amount of tea color...decay of plants, muck, etc. I
suspect you will have to tolerate it or go to carbon...repeatedly.

Our water is very clear but tea colored. We have got used to it.
==============================
The water in my ponds has a faint green tinge when in a clear glass. The
green may be masking a yellowish or tea-brown color. The fish are thriving
though. :-)
