Borsec "Queen of Mineral Waters"



Since moving to Astoria, I have found more waters from more parts of the world than anyway else. Astoria is like the old NY, with mostly people being from Europe and Eastern Europe. Walk into any deli in Astoria and they most likely all have vast varieties of Water, Chocolate, Meats and all things European. Which leads me into Romania, and a brief intro about Borsec.
Borsec springs are located in the North-Eastern side of Romania, in Borsec depression ,Harghita county, in the heartland of The Carpathian Mountains. Borsec spa lies at a 900 m altitude. The large coniferous forest, which surround it, provides a particular healthy microclimat.
Borsec will never run out of water. There are over 15 springs of natural mineral water. Besides these springs, there are a lot of wells which reveal the potential of these mineral water resources. Their chemical composition is almost similar and also stable. In terms of flow and quality, the most important springs are spring no. 1 and spring no.2 for the natural sparkling mineral water and the source called 7 springs for the natural still mineral water. 


This is probably one of my top three waters. It is naturally carbonated and has a TDS of over 1,400. The flavor and smoothness is unmatched. This water has everything you could want…Thought I do wish I could find it in glass. It is the Queen of mineral waters. For a full list of TDS click here.
