Hint Peppermint Water
By: | Jul 2, 2007
Hint Water is naturally flavored with no sweeteners, no preservatives and no calories - just pure water with a "hint" of natural flavor. Those are the reasons that led me to grab a few bottles of Hint at the supermarket to try. I chose the Peppermint flavor because I wanted something clean and refreshing without any sweetness - I like water to taste as close to water (surprise) as possible.
Mint flavoring has a strong, characteristic essence. It can be easy to add too much to a drink and have it become overpowering (I'm talking about you Sweet Leaf Mint and Honey Green Tea). But the folks at Hint sure know what they're doing because they got this totally right! There is only a hint of peppermint - just enough to let you know that it's there. An added bonus is that peppermint also has a pleasant cooling effect on the water to make it taste ... crisp, clear, refreshing.
At $1.69 a bottle, Hint Water is not cheap. I like the description over at The Nibble, "Think of Hint as the bottled version of what might be poured at a spa or a fine restaurant, where slices of cucumber or citrus are added to the water pitcher, and their flavors permeate the water to provide the drinker with a special taste experience."
Yes, this no calorie "premium essence water" has an air of sophistication about it from the packaging to the taste. But it is worthy! It made me go out and buy a few more flavors to try (and review of course).

I loved this water the first time I tried it. I try not to drink calories, and though I love water, sometimes you just want something flavorful....but this isn't loaded with the artificial sweeteners we should all limit either. It's a great idea and a pleasant execution.
Thanks for reviewing this! I've been intrigued about this water. Like the previous commenter, I don't like to drink calories and this sounded like a great alternative to artificially sweetened drinks (that I consume too frequently).
THIS WATER TASTES HORRIBLE, WAY TOO PEPPERMINTY! Did they pay u to write this?
No Brian - I did not get paid to write this - or any other review. But hey mint waters may or may not be your thing.
