Starkey Spring Water

This was one of the great tournament runs. Starkey won five straight comparisons, including round 6 in the 5,000th episode, where he gave it ten thumbs up and had already predicted it might make the finals. In the #9000 final it finished runner-up to Hawaiian Springs, with Table Rock third.

About Starkey Spring Water

Starkey comes from an ancient single-source geothermal spring in Council, Idaho, rising from two miles deep through basalt fractures, protected for 11,000 years. It emerges at 132 degrees, is treated with UV light only, and has a pH of 9.6. It is sold at Whole Foods nationwide in glass and BPA-free PET.

Tourmaline Spring Water

One of the most decorated waters in the whole tournament. It beat REAL, Spindrift, IGA, and Gerber, then beat Crystal2O "not even like that close," then beat Iceland and Le Bleu. Starkey finally ended the run in his 5000th episode, and both waters got ten thumbs up.

About Tourmaline Spring Water

Tourmaline comes from a natural spring in Maine that bubbles up through gemstone-lined vaults in an ancient mountain range. The company says it is the only one to bottle untreated natural spring water in Maine's history, with a gravity-fed plant 50 feet from the spring, no pumps, no boreholes, and Maine's premium grade designation. Its history as a "healing" water goes back to 1792. Small, family-owned, about a buck forty-nine a bottle, and a two-time bronze winner at the 2018 International Fine Waters Tasting Competition in Ecuador.
