A Little Botanical Flavor for Everyday Hydration

Some days, plain water is exactly what you want. Other days, you might want a little more flavor in the bottle beside your keyboard: something to sip between emails or with lunch. Botanical water offers a small change of pace, with fruit, flowers, or tea bringing their own character to the glass.

It still contributes to your daily fluid intake, just as other water-based drinks do. A botanical melt is a concentrated plant infusion in solid form that dissolves into water. The choice can be as simple as a flavor you enjoy and whether you feel like a cold bottle or a warm cup.

A cold bottle, at your own pace

Cold water gives the melt a slower start. Add it to your water, close the bottle securely, and give it a shake to help it dissolve. As the melt dissolves, its botanical flavor gradually enters the water. Allow more time for this route than for a warm-water start.

You can prepare the bottle before you settle down at your desk, keep it nearby, and sip at your own pace. It is an easy option to plan ahead when you would like something flavored beside you while you work.

Or start warm, then add ice

For an iced drink with lunch or a work break, you may prefer to begin with hot water. Stir the melt until it has fully dissolved, then add cold water and ice. Use a container suitable for hot water for that first part.

The flavor is in the water before you cool it, so this route lets you enjoy an iced glass sooner than starting entirely cold. And if a warm cup sounds better, let it cool to a comfortable sipping temperature and enjoy it that way.

If you like a fruit-led drink, Coconut on Mango brings ripe mango, a creamy coconut impression, and grapefruit brightness. For a more delicate pairing, Sakura Glow combines cherry-blossom notes with cranberry and raspberry tartness. Choose whichever sounds appealing with the way you like to drink your water.

Coconut on Mango, Sakura Glow, and Spice That Rose are caffeine-free. Two Brews contains caffeine from coffee and Liubao tea, with roasted notes and an earthy tea finish. That distinction is useful when choosing a blend for your own routine.
