FAQs
What is Natural Mineral Water, and how is it different from Packaged Drinking Water?
Natural Mineral Water is the highest grade of water and has accreditation reserved for the water bottled directly from a single, protected natural source and contains naturally occurring minerals and trace elements without undergoing any processing or treatment. It is distinguished by its consistent mineral composition. Natural Mineral Water retains its naturally occurring minerals and taste profile.
Whereas, packaged drinking water is often treated RO or purified water, sourced from various locations and stripped of minerals during filtration.
Yet, a common misconception persists that all bottled water is the same. In India, for instance, the term “mineral water” is often used for packaged drinking or purified RO water — which ironically contains no minerals and wastes vast amounts of water during filtration
What are the benefits of drinking Natural Mineral Water?
Natural mineral water is beneficial for drinking because it contains essential minerals offering various health advantages. These minerals, like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulphate, and chloride contribute to bone health, digestive function, blood pressure regulation, and electrolyte balance. Additionally, mineral water can aid in hydration, potentially improve skin health, and even assist with weight management.
Why Natural Mineral Water tastes differently from RO water?
Natural Mineral Water has a distinct taste as it contains naturally occurring minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and chloride, which add subtle flavour and character to it. In contrast, RO water is stripped of these minerals, and therefore leaving it flat and without the refreshing mineral notes of Natural Mineral Water.
How do minerals get into the water in the first place?
Minerals are dissolved into water as it percolates through various underground layers of rock and sediment over many years. This natural filtration process allows the water to absorb minerals directly from its geological surroundings.
For example:
Water flowing through limestone becomes rich in calcium.
Areas with dolomite rock contribute higher levels of magnesium.
Therefore, the unique geology of a region is what defines the specific mineral profile of its water.
What are the small, whitish particles/ flakes that appear in the bottled water sometimes?
White particles in natural mineral water are often harmless deposits of calcium and magnesium, which are natural minerals found in the water. These minerals can precipitate out of the water, especially after temperature changes like freezing and thawing, and appear as white flakes or particles. While they might be unsightly, they are generally safe to drink.
How does Melting Blu Co. source its water?
The Melting Blu Co. sources its water from pristine, naturally protected river origins in the Himalayan mountains, preserving its unique, soothing natural flavour. Untouched and unprocessed, it is free from foreign pollutants, having naturally filtered through layers of rock, clay, and sand. This journey not only enriches its mineral profile but also keeps it naturally free from bacteria.
Why does The Melting Blu Co. stand apart as a premium choice?
At The Melting Blu Co., we believe that everything is inexpensive when measured against health. True quality cannot be rushed or compromised — and we refuse to take shortcuts.
Our water comes from a rare, naturally protected Himalayan source, enriched with natural minerals over decades. This mineral balance is nature’s own recipe, impossible to recreate through artificial processes.
To secure and preserve such a source is both challenging and cost-intensive, requiring rigorous protection and sustainable extraction. We bottle at the source, ensuring that every drop reaches you exactly as nature intended.
With The Melting Blu Co., you invest in purity, authenticity, and a rare taste that is truly worth the price.
How does the geology of an area influence the taste and composition of its mineral water?
The geology of a region is the single most important factor determining the taste and chemical makeup of its mineral water. As groundwater flows through different rock types, it dissolves various minerals, creating a unique signature or “terroir.” For example, water high in magnesium sulphates may have a slightly bitter note, whereas water rich in calcium and bicarbonates often tastes smooth and slightly alkaline. Water from volcanic regions may be high in silica, giving it a distinctively smooth texture.
