Snow melting in the Ecuadorian Andes flows through subterranean passages acquiring minerals with extraordinary properties and finally emerging at The Tesalia Springs fountains in Machachi, Ecuador. This natural spring water is bottled and is called Guitig. Guitig story begins at the end of XIXth century when Mrs. Eugenia Klinger visited Thessaly spa’s in Greece and impressed by its beauty, decided to rename her property in Machachi Ecuador, since it had several artisan slopes. Few years later, a German visitor, after tasting the water from the springs, exclaimed "Gültig", which means "excellent", "good" or "kind". Everybody found this expression to be hilarious and funny; so from now on, the word was transformed into "Güitig", mainly because it was easier to pronounce. At the beginning of the 20th Century (1902), this water brand was bottled in artisan ways and transported in a mule’s back to towns. In 1921 The Tesalia Springs Company was legally established and it represented the beginning of the production and commercialization of Güitig with modern procedures for those days. Besides providing with an important legacy to the identity of our country, our products boast a quality awarded by international Institutes like: Monde Selection and Taste & Quality Institute ( ITQi ). Volcanic activity by the Cotopaxi volcano below the aquifer creates in Guitig a very special naturally carbonated water.

A water with... famed water sommelier Martin Riese on his new podcast with his co host Michael Mascha: Ashley Epperson from Salacious Drinks.

Salacious Drinks was started by two water enthusiasts. The shared passion for trying new waters lead to the idea of providing customers with bottled waters that were not readily available. In July of 2016, they started salaciousdrinks.com.

Water has unique taste, characteristics and health benefits, so they improved the selection to sell a higher quality of bottled waters. 

Premium - Naturally sourced waters from around the world. No waters that have been purified or have unnatural added ingredients.

Luxury - Waters with timelessness, story, scarcity and social cachet.

Bambito Agua de Manantial originates in a spring located northeast of the community of Volcán, Chiriqui, Republic of Panama, adjacent to the Volcan Baru National Park in an area that represents a scenic set of high ecological, geological and biological value. It is located at an altitude of 1,510 meters above sea level. Bambito Agua de Manantial is naturally filtered through sedimentary rocks and volcanic origin that provide valuable mineral elements.

Bambito is bottled at the source and available in Still and Sparkling in upscale glass bottles that have a great presence and tactile joy. The sparkling version has very soft, small effervescent bubbles that are extremely food friendly. The water is also shipped in PET  (300ml, 600ml, 1.5liter, and On Gallon).

What does NEVAS stand for? First, water, as a drink, which flows out of a black container. Νερό is the Greek name for water, while Nero is black in Italian for the color. VAS, as the second part of the name, is synonymous with the Latin-anatomical term for a vessel or a container. The family crest of the company founder rounds off the NEVAS brand as the centerpiece.

The vision behind Nevas Water is to provide a water to the quality and luxury customer who can be the centerpiece of any festive table. In order to live up to this claim, Nevas Water Cuvée was the first premium water of German origin to be launched. It is characterized by its fine, pearly texture. With a popping cork and an extraordinary design, Nevas Water Cuvée fulfills the highest gustatory and visual demands on every occasion.

NEVAS Water combines the water of two natural springs and thus the best of mineralization and taste. As the first cuvée in the water segment, mixed with fine sparkling carbon dioxide, NEVAS Water not only convinces with its unmistakable taste, but also with the highest quality.

NEVAS Water offers an unforgettable sparkling drinking experience with its unique sparkling carbon dioxide. Both artesian mineral wells are several hundred years old and give the water through their special rock layers a uniquely high content of natural calcium (62 mg/100 ml). Nevas Water Cuvée combines the highest quality, unmistakable taste and is thus an expression of personal individuality.

A water with... famed water sommelier Martin Riese on his new podcast with his co host Michael Mascha: Guest today Dayle & Olaf, Owner of Aqui-Live from Australia. Powered by Planet Water Podcast, Martin & Michael want to know from Dayle & Olaf the story of Aqui-Live:

It begins in 2012, when Olaf and Dayle purchase a family holiday house on a small parcel of land atop Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, 85 kilometres south of the Melbourne CBD. The area is populated with boutique wineries, producing acclaimed cool-climate wines from grapes grown in the red, mineral-rich soil from which the area takes its name.

The property’s previous owner utilised the overgrown spring outfall in a corner of the property for irrigation purposes. The spring is initially nicknamed by Olaf and Dayle’s family “the frog love hotel”, in a tribute to its noisy key inhabitants.

A family friend with experience of natural springs tastes the water and, noting its rich minerality and incredibly soft mouth feel, suggests a sample be sent for testing. The first result is encouraging. A battery of further tests are life-changing. They reveal outstanding mineral balance and an incredible purity to rival any known mineral water in the world.

Extensive further research pinpoints the source as an ancient aquifer, known as the Paleolithic Basement, which lies directly beneath the Mornington Peninsula at a depth of 900 metres. It is believed to be 600 million years old and draws its water from New Zealand, where rainfall seeps into the ground and trickles through tectonic plates to feed the aquifer.

Incredibly, the water that emerges in Dayle and Olaf’s backyard is believed to take a minimum of 2000 years to force its way up through the Red Hill soil.

In 2015, Olaf and Dayle leave their full-time jobs. They build a small plant on-site to harvest the overflow.

They now share the unique gift of Aqui-Live water with the world.

A water with... famed water sommelier Martin Riese on his new podcast with his co host Michael Mascha: Guest Nicoya Hecht, Owner of Rising Springs from Idaho / Unites Sates. Powered by Planet Water Podcast, Martin & Michael want to know why Nicoya was interested to take over a very unique water: Rising Springs is one of the deepest known natural springs, flowing up under its own pressure from an astonishing depth of 2.2 miles. As it rises up from 2.2 miles deep, through cracks and fissures in the dense granite Idaho Batholith ("deep rock" in Greek), the water is protected for the entirety of its 16,000 year journey by the granite and its own tremendous upward and outward pressure. The water rushes through miles of silica quartz crystals, absorbing energy, a light minerality and a unique redox potential.

I thought it would be fun and interested to start to interview water producers around the world to understand their passion and the story each water carries.
