Hay! Fiji water is bottled in Fiji! It's actually surprising because so many things are just renamed to sound exotic. For example: Chilean Sea Bass---really, the Patagonian Toothfish.
So...the basics: The water is from an "aquifer in a virgin ecosystem at the edge of a primitive rainforest, a continent away from the nearest industrialized civilization. [Fiji's] rainfall is purified by equatorial winds after traveling thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean. Winds that carry acid rain and pollutants to other parts of the planet just don't come our way."
Essentially, the water source is surrounded by impermeable rock, meaning pollutant containing rainfall cannot leach into it. It has 210 dissolved salt parts per million.
Taste-pretty much your mineral water mildly different taste; its like there's something in it. Not in a bad way of course. It's very clean tasting.
Sidenote: The island of Fiji itself does somewhat suffer from lack of clean water. When government tried to tax the water exporters (to keep more clean water for the citizens), lawsuits killed the tax. So is this a "good" water?
Decide for yourself.
