The product is as unique as the story of its conception: in 2013, Norwegian-American Jamal Qureshi collected meltwater as a gift for his wife while travelling in the Norwegian island territory of Svalbard – one of Europe’s last great wildernesses.

The pure water would make for a delicious cup of tea, he thought. Four years later, and the whimsical, selfless thought has transformed into an epicurean product, which is redefining the very notion of pure drinking water. In order to retain the water’s natural composition and premium taste, no chemistry-altering filters are used, only micron filters and UV light to adhere to international standards.

Scientists have confirmed that Jana natural artesian water began its long journey from the surface to a depth of 2700 feet well over 3,000 years ago.

Jana Water is bottled at the source at an underground depth of 2700 feet in the picturesque Croatian village of Saint Jana. Croatia, a country known for its water, has the largest supply of drinking water in all of Europe.

Croatia has more than 1000 islands, situated along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, many lakes surrounded with lush forests, and many more hidden natural treasures. Jana ‘s well, is one of the deepest in Europe. Jana Water’s purity and freshness is a result of the slow and natural filtering process, through a vast aquifer of layered mineral rock.

It is additionally protected by a layer of granite above the well basin. During this long natural journey, Jana natural artesian water is enriched with minerals, in particular calcium and magnesium.

Jana water also contains silica, which promotes healthy cartilage, skin, hair and nails. Jana natural artesian water boasts an exceptional stable mineral composition that is regularly monitored throughout the year.

This guarantees Jana Water’s smooth taste and its appealing freshness and silky texture. Daily quality checks are also performed to ensure that the water in the bottle is exactly as nature intended.

Centuries of volcanic activity and an abundance of beautiful glaciers have garnered Iceland, the nickname, “The Land of Fire and Ice”.

The legendary Ölfus Spring is a vast underground renewable resource formed over 5000 years ago. It sits in the middle of a 128,000- acre exclusion zone protecting the spring and its surrounding area.

It is shielded by an impenetrable barrier of lava rock resulting in a naturally occurring low mineral content (TDS) of 62ppm.

It is continually replenished by rain, snow and ice melt coming from the mountains in the north. Water travels directly from the underground spring into the bottling facility under a positive air pressure to impede the outside air.

The first time Icelandic Glacial encounters the open air is when the bottle seal is broken.

Icelandic Glacial is also naturally high in pH with a value of 8.4. It is available in a variety of glass and plastic sizes, in both natures, still and sparkling.

My tale is as old as the beginning of time.. From creation, I was part of Nature’s rhythm for millions of years – evaporating, condensing and then falling down as rain again.

After thousands of years in the untouched Nordic lands, my arctic glacier shape slowly transformed. The sun’s rays warmed my outer layer, I began to melt and run free. Eventually I meandered my way into a one of a kind cavern formed beneath the earth’s surface.
