Rain Forest Artesian Water 16 oz. Bottle Can (12 Pack)

Lately, I've been trying to drink more water in order to remain as healthy as possible during this COVID-19 pandemic. The water from my faucet is not to be trusted. Therefore, I was thankful for an opportunity to review the Rain Forest Artesian Water that comes packaged in biodegradable, environmentally friendly metal bottles (cans). Twelve sixteen-ounce cans arrived very well protected within a cardboard box from the company. Each can is attractively decorated with blue butterflies. (Because of global warming, I don't see as many butterflies and bees as I once did. Isn't that scary?) Despite their cardboard protection, each can had slight dents near the top and the bottom. I wasn't concerned enough to not drink their contents. Otherwise, the cans looked perfectly fine.On the neck of each can, below the cap, is the following expiration date: EXP: 02/2022. This is a good date. The twelve cans should be consumed long before then. The water tasted delicious, pure, and natural. I couldn't detect a metal taste of any kind that may have leached out of the can. Neither did I detect any added chemicals. Each can has a protective cap that is easy to twist off. It can be easily twisted back on in case you can't finish drinking all sixteen ounces. I actually weighed an empty can and a full, unopened one and found that there was approximately seventeen ounces of water. I don't know if this is a fluke. I didn't weigh all the cans.Also, I recently learned the importance of avoiding the usage of plastics. They are very harmful to the environment, not just to the plant life but to the animal life as well. My eyes were painfully opened when I read the children's book, "The Last Straw," written and illustrated by Zoe Matthiessen. If you like bottled water and are trying to save the environment, then I suggest you try drinking Rain Forest Artesian Water, which comes packaged in sixteen-ounce bottles made of biodegradable metal. I usually drink them with my lunch and dinner. One can will last me for two meals.

I overall enjoy the water I bought it a few times I prefer the bigger bottles because they're reusable the smaller size here was a little bit more flimsy but overall it's great water and great for the environment is a plant trees if you buy their water and I'm okay with spending a little bit more money if they're doing good things with it!

Product is great overall only downside is every single can arrived dented. Since this was a gift, this mattered to me but may not to anyone else.

This is my third case of this water. The third case is by default. When I opened the bottles the water smells like mildew. I thought it was all in my head until I looked at the bottom of the cap and there you have it. There was black mold. I will NEVER purchase again.

Water in a can? Who would have thought of such a thing? Oh, wait isn't that just a canteen? I guess campers, explorers, etc. So I guess that idea has been around for some time. Those who have used canteens before know that the metal can keep the water cold for a long time and so does the bottle can that the Rain Forest store uses. On a hot summer day taking a cold can of water out of the refrigerator beats taking out a plastic bottle, the satisfaction level is much higher since the water is colder and crisper. The bottle can is nothing new, Coke, Budweiser and other beverage makers have used it before, usually in limited releases. By the way, the cans all arrived dented even though the box was intact, so I'm not sure what happened in transit.Rain Forest water tastes delicious. It has a pure, clean taste it that is very satisfying when it hits the back of the throat. Fiji has the closest taste to this Rain Forest water, but Fiji comes in plastic, not a can.Let's face it though, Rain Forest water is pure marketing. The can is artsy and minimalist with the blue butterfly. The can is obviously reusable and fully recyclable just about anywhere. Technology to recycle aluminum has been around for decades. The company also gives a percentage of their profits to reforestation projects, wildlife preservation, and a self-sustained model farm. All of this really has nothing to do with the water in the bottle so it is why this product may cost a little bit more. I have no problem with this for those who can afford it, Rain Forest water from Costa Rica tastes terrific.

Drinking water from the Rain Forest Artesian Water 16 oz. Bottle Cans is an absolute pleasure. I love these cans. Before this water, the only time I encountered these type of containers was from the beer industry (because drinking beer from a plastic bottle is unacceptable, I suppose). And why should water be any different? Avoid the plastics and choose aluminum instead.I like the size of the opening better than traditional plastic bottles also. It is wider and feels more like drinking from a glass than sipping from a bottle.The artwork on these bottles is also beautiful. I love butterflies, and the blue butterflies on the cap and bottle and very pleasing to observe. The water within also does not disappoint. The water that is bottled at the natural rain forested source in Costa Rica is very refreshing with a clean crisp aftertaste. Wonderful!The only downside is the price. If you want luxury, you're going to have to loosen up the purse strings a bit. The value is here though if you are looking to splurge or to impress your guests. This is a very classy way to present a healthy beverage and a kind gift to yourself when you are wanting a little something special. Highly recommended.

Why are the cans all smashed up 😂 still my favorite water though so I’ll definitely buy again.
