Are there really such big differences in the taste of water?

Yes! There are huge differences in the taste of water. The notes range from bitter to sweet or even salty. Some waters have an aftertaste, others don't. The sensory perception also varies.

Are the water tastings also offered with Still water?

Yes, you can also do your water tasting with just Still water. During the tastings at your place or at ours, you decide together with Pat Eckert which waters you would like to taste. For the virtual tasting or the tasting via YouTube, we also offer packages with just Still water.

Do I have to prepare for the water tasting?

No, you do not need to prepare for the water tasting. To enjoy the full taste experience, you should avoid coffee, chewing gum, cigarettes or very spicy foods immediately before the tasting. It is also important to us that you bring enough time with you and can enjoy the tasting in peace.

Are water tastings also offered for companies?

Yes, we also offer water tastings for companies. These can be held virtually or on-site and are very popular. For the individual configuration of your event, please contact Pat Eckert personally.
