Correlation between water taste & TDS : Opinions invited!

I have been trying to corroborate water taste with TDS, but see two different water with same TDS taste different. If the individual components that make the TDS are the same in two water samples will the taste be the same? Are there other factors other than TDS that affect water taste?

With a resistivity meter for measuring TDS it was not possible to measure organic components,when sugar was added to water the end TDS still remained the same. Is it possible for a water supply company to arrive at a desired taste by engineering the various ingredients that give taste to water?
