Spa Water - Review

Top Bottled Waters

First discovered by the ancient Romans, the source for Spa’s non-sparkling mineral water is located in Belgium’s Ardennes Valley. Spa was the first town to develop an international bottled water industry (in 1583, the water was exported to none less than King Henri II of France). In the process, the town inadvertently exported its name; since then, “spa” has been synonymous with most natural springs and health resorts. On the edge of the High Venn near Spa is the spring called Reine (the Queen’s Spring). Rain and melted snow falls on a moss area of La Fagne, a plateau 575 meters above sea level. It percolates down through layers of clay, slate, flint, sand and quartz where it finally surfaces at 440 meters above sea level. This water is not chemically treated and has a still balance for optimal pure taste.
