Looking for a new brand of sparkling water? Try Aura Bora! They are delicious and herbal-flavored for your next grocery run!

Recently, the opportunity presented itself where I got to sample the relatively new brand of sparkling water, Aura Bora.

They label themselves as herbal sparkling water that definitely has some interesting flavors that you may not have otherwise thought would work together; however, if you are able to get your hands on these, you’re certainly able to see for yourselves.

Currently, there are five different flavors of Aura Bora’s herbal sparkling water, and let me tell ya, they’re all super unique that I wasn’t expecting any of them really to taste as good as they did.

Now, as a fair warning to you all out there, if you don’t like unsweetened sparkling water, then don’t try these because they’re more subtle in their flavors and herbal goodness, that it might hit you kinda hard if you aren’t already prepared for it, just as an FYI here.

Aura Bora herbal sparkling water is sure to satisfy that bubbly craze you’ve been craving for a while now, let me tell ya!

Here are the current five flavors of Aura Bora’s herbal sparkling water, a rating, and a little bit about each of them all:

  • (1) Lemongrass Coconut
    • Rating: 6.9/10
    • Flavor Notes/General Facts: Overall, I wish there was fewer lemongrass flavors and more coconut flavors. Odd combination, but still pretty delicious. Would I drink it/buy it again? Most likely, I would.
  • (2) Cactus Rose
    • Rating: 7.2/10
    • Flavor Notes/General Facts: For me, this one tasted slightly soapy; however, I absolutely loved the taste of the prickly pear in there and 100% would’ve wished and hoped to taste more in there overall. Would I drink it/buy it again? Yup, definitely.
  • (3) Peppermint Watermelon
    • Rating: 7.4/10
    • Flavor Notes/General Facts: Probably one of the oddest combinations that will actually work. The peppermint works with the watermelon in some odd delicious way, so definitely try this one out for yourselves. Would I drink it/buy it again? For sure.
  • (4) Lavender Cucumber
    • Rating: 6.9/10
    • Flavor Notes/General Facts: I love both lavender and cucumber; however, this one has the same rating as the Lemongrass Coconut flavor because, once again, I wish that Aura Bora had added a little less herbal and a little more cucumber. Would I drink it/buy it again? For sure, I would.
  • (5) Basil Berry
    • Rating: 7.5/10
    • Flavor Notes/General Facts: My all-time personal favorite of all five of these herbal sparkling water flavors. Basil and berries is a combo I’ve had in other foods before, so I already knew that it worked. Would I drink it/ buy it again? Absolutely, yes.
