Water is the most common bottled beverage we consume daily. Most people don’t think about where their water comes from, believing that it has to be healthful and from a quality source no matter the manufacturer. But in reality, there are many bottled water producers that merely fill their plastic with tap water and sell it under the guise of “purified water”.

By definition, purified water is tap water that’s been filtered to remove any impurities that can be harmful to our health when consumed. You might see on some particular brands of bottled water that it contains trace amounts of minerals. This means that the water hasn’t been completely stripped of its natural mineral and nutrient content. Those that have gone through a more thorough treatment process often contain little to no minerals, giving it little to no taste. Unfortunately, purification often doesn’t remove some of the most threatening particulars living in tap water, such as pesticides, antibiotics, chemicals and pollutants.

When bottled water is labeled as spring water, it means it’s natural water that’s bubbled to the surface of a spring; however, pollutants, bacteria, and other impurities in the ground and air can infect this kind of water. Spring water may provide more natural, healthful minerals than purified water, but it can also be exposed to more dangerous contaminants.

Artesian water is different from spring or purified water in that in comes from a natural source rarely found in nature. Deep within the earth there lies water sources that are protected from environmental pollutants, as well as contamination caused by humans. Fiji Water is considered naturally filtered water, meaning that it comes from artesian aquifers – or permeable, volcanic rock that transmits groundwater. The silica volcanic rock that filters Fiji water is known for containing precious minerals that are known to strengthen bones, skin, hair and connective body tissue.

Fiji is one of the most loved artesian waters because it has a smooth, clean-feeling taste that doesn’t leave a lingering “mouth-feel” like purified water. Although water may not be a drink you’re accustomed to worrying about, it’s so important to pay attention to what you’re buying. Coffee For Less offers Fiji Water because it’s one of the best tasting, most healthful bottled waters on the market.
