What Jonathan decided

Winner = Acqua Filette (round 3); Kona Deep eliminated (too sweet); Proud Source aluminum taste.

Acqua Filette

He took Acqua Filette to round three of a five-water field, knocking out Kona Deep (too sweet) and the rest, before Tru Alka beat it on pure clean taste. A deep tournament run for a fancy Italian bottle.

About Acqua Filette

Acqua Filette is a premium Italian oligomineral water from the Guarcino spring, 900 meters up in the Lazio Apennines, bottled since 1894. Roman writers like Pliny and Seneca praised these waters, and it has near-zero nitrates with almost no sodium. It comes in glass only and is a fine-dining staple.

Alta Paulo

It was in the five-water field but made no noise. Acqua Filette took round three, Kona Deep went out for being too sweet, and Alta Paulo just faded into the background.

About Alta Paulo

No reliable information turned up for a bottled water brand by this name. It may be a mislabeled or one-off entry, and the record is unclear on this one beyond its single quiet appearance.

Kona Deep

Kona Deep beat Chuck Norris's water in round 2, with both getting high thumbs up, and yes, that sentence is real. Then it got eliminated in round three for being too sweet, while Acqua Filette won.

About Kona Deep

Kona Deep is a Hawaii-based company creating a "deep ocean water" category: water drawn from 3,000 feet below the surface off Kona, Hawaii, described as 1,000+ year-old melted glacial water in a deep ocean current, absorbing natural electrolytes and minerals. It is desalinated and bottled at the source with nothing added. Launched in Hawaii in late 2015 and expanded to the mainland in 2017, with Danone's venture arm taking a minority stake. They also sponsor ocean-conservation efforts like Project Save Our Surf beach cleanups.

Nestle Pure Life Chinese

The Chinese Nestle won #7001 outright: first place, Sprouts second, Quest third with a thumbs down ("zesty bar of soap"). Then in #7146 it ran into Acqua Filette and got eliminated. One big win, one loss.

About Nestle Pure Life Chinese

This is the same Nestle Pure Life brand sold in China, including a kids' edition with Disney Zootopia characters launched in Shanghai. In 2020 Nestle sold its China water business to Tsingtao Brewery Group for about $97 million, and Tsingtao still produces and markets Nestle Pure Life in China under license.

Proud Source Water

Proud Source won round 2 against VitaNourish, which he found too sweet and multivitamin-like. In round 3 it fell to Acqua Filette, and he caught an aluminum taste in it.

About Proud Source Water

Proud Source started in 2016 in Boise, Idaho, bottling naturally alkaline spring water in aluminum bottles and cans. It is a certified B Corporation and a 1% for the Planet member, and was acquired by SOURCE Global in 2023.
