Spring water comes from—you guessed it—an underground spring. It’s collected at the source, often from a protected aquifer. It’s not boiled or stripped clean. Instead, it’s bottled with its natural minerals still inside.
Those minerals—like potassium, magnesium, and a little sodium—give spring water its distinctive taste. That’s why one brand tastes crisp while another tastes slightly salty or sweet. It’s the terroir of water. Like wine, but wetter.
Quirky fact: Some spring waters have been underground for decades. You might be drinking rain that fell during the Clinton administration. That’s a wild thought to swallow.

It’s not “better,” but it’s different. The minerals are nice, but you get loads more from food. Spring water’s real superpower is flavor and the perception of being “natural.”
