The water revolution: crafted mineral water

Ah water. The source of life. And who will settle for any old water when we can have the good stuff? Bottles of sparkling mineral water from a pristine alpine region far away are the first thing ordered for the table before a fine meal.

Those bubbles, rising through mineral rich water, bursting on the tongue, fizzy, cleansing the palette, hydrating every cell in our body. You can buy soft drinks in a hundred different flavours but none have the same nourishing taste and mouthfeel as a tall drink of cool sparkling water.

Mineral water has long been valued for its health benefits and savoured for its taste. Early tourists travelled not for the sights, but for their health. They sought out the famous spa towns of Europe: Lourdes, Bath, Montecatini. They’d call it taking the waters, bathing in or drinking the water for its healing powers. 

That thirst for mineral water is as strong as ever today. But we don’t go to it, it comes to us, often halfway around the world.

Big multinationals like Nestle make sure of that, buying the rights and restricting access to mineral springs which had flowed freely for hundreds of years. That water is more expensive per litre than the fuel for your car.

And the true cost extends far beyond the dollar price. Bottled mineral water accounts for many of the billions of single-use plastic bottles used every year, only a small fraction of which are recycled.

The environmental impact of transporting bottled water across the globe is immense, leaving a long carbon footprint and food miles in its wake. 

In those times of spa town pilgrimages, hundreds of years ago, crafty merchants would evaporate mineral water and package the remaining minerals. Those original tourists could take the essence of the water’s power and reconstitute it at home.

This is how Mineralcraft was born. We’ve sought out the purest minerals from the most pristine sources in the world and blended them to recraft the mineral profile of the world’s best natural spring regions.

From the soft bicarbonate rich flavour of the Italian Alps, to the nuanced flavour of the Swiss Alps, craft your own delicious and nourishing sparkling mineral water at home without the food miles or plastic and environmental waste.

Mineralcraft  is simple, sustainable and affordable. A single tin of Mineralcraft makes 30 litres of your favourite mineral water. Add a scoop to a bottle of tap or spring water and carbonise. 

Don’t just take the waters, take back the waters with Mineralcraft.
