Featured waters

EartH2O, Glacier Rain, Menchie's H2O, Simpson Spring, Talking Rain (Sparkling).

Winner: Menchie's H2O.

What Jonathan decided

Winner = Menchie's H2O (surprising); Talking Rain least favorite.

EartH2O

Menchie's frozen yogurt water pulling off the upset was the story of this round. EartH2O was part of the field but did not take it, and Talking Rain landed at the bottom of his rankings.

About EartH2O

EartH2O is an Oregon spring water company founded in 1991 in Culver, Oregon, sourced from Opal Springs in the Central Oregon Cascades. It was the world's first bottled water company to become a Certified B Corporation and the first in the US to use 100 percent recycled PET bottles. Primo Water acquired it in 2021.

Glacier Rain

Menchie's H2O pulled off the surprise win here, and Talking Rain was my least favorite of the group. Glacier Rain was just in the mix.

About Glacier Rain

No reliable information could be found for a bottled water brand by this name, so this one remains a mystery.

Menchie's H2O

Menchie's won twice, and I called the second win surprising myself. It beat honeygrow's water (a little plasticky, a little Brita-like) in #7443, then won a five-water field in #7609. The frozen yogurt shop keeps winning water contests. Nobody saw it coming.

About Menchie's H2O

This is the house-branded water sold at Menchie's frozen yogurt shops: 16 oz bottles of reverse-osmosis purified water, a menu beverage item around $1.50 to $2. It is not a standalone water brand, just the shop's own labeled refreshment, and it varies by location (some shops list Aquafina instead).

Simpson Spring

Simpson Spring beat Brick House, which had a slight plastic taste, and moved to round 2. In the next round it fell to Menchie's H2O, the surprise winner.

About Simpson Spring

Simpson Spring is a family-owned bottler in South Easton, Massachusetts, claiming to be the oldest active bottling plant in the US, built around a geothermal spring starting in 1878.

Talking Rain (Sparkling)

He could not taste a difference between it and the Cadia, so Talking Rain won on value. Later, in a field with EartH20, Menchie's, Glacier Rain, and Simpson Spring, it was his least favorite.

About Talking Rain (Sparkling)

Talking Rain is a privately held, family-owned company founded in 1987 in Preston, Washington. The name came from the Talking Heads playing during the founders' meeting plus the Seattle rain outside the pub. They are best known for Sparkling Ice, the flavored sparkling water that became the number one sparkling water brand in the US.
