London's best: Pure waters

 
1/5
24 January 2013

It clears and brightens your skin, cleanses your system — and, duh, is better for you than alcohol. Yes, it’s just water but these five have pure intentions too. Here are our favourites.

1. Belu

It’s 100 per cent carbon neutral, all profits go to WaterAid and CoolBrands put it on its 2012 list. Good, clean water with a tiny fizz. 49p/plastic from Sainsbury’s £1.50/glass bottle from Jamie’s Italian, Fifteen, Nobu, Le Manoir restaurants (Belu.org)

2. Iceberg water

Said to be the purest, 100 per cent chemical-free water in the world. “Harvested” by the locals of Newfoundland from — yes, really — icebergs. Try with whisky. From £9.50/bottle from Hedonism Wine, Caviar House and luxdrinks.com

3. FIJI

Humans aren’t allowed to touch it — this water from the Yaqara Valley in the South Pacific islands goes through a sealed delivery system straight into the bottles. £1.28 from Waitrose or Whole Foods Market Kensington, 63-97 Kensington High Street, W8 (fijiwater.co.uk)

4. Life

Calls itself “pure water with pure intentions”. Bottled at a carbon-neutral organic spring with each one funding the delivery of clean drinking water to a developing world community. 99p/1.5l from Planet Organic stores (planetorganic.com)

5. One Water

All profits go to fund water projects in Africa and water is bottled locally to markets to minimise food miles. £2.09/six-pack of 500ml bottles from Waitrose and other supermarkets (onedifference.org)
