New Flavors at Last

There are more carbonated water brands than most people can count, nearly all of them producing the same three to five flavors over and over again. Enter Sanzo Sparkling Water, an Asian-inspired seltzer company with fresh, interesting flavor profiles. 


Sanzo’s beverages are made with real fruit juice, have no added sugar, and come in flavors like yuzu and lychee. Though the drinks aren't available at all grocery stores, you can find them at Whole Foods — and, like most products, they're available on Amazon


Is Sanzo seltzer worth sticking into your rotation? I tasted them all to find out.

I adore this. There’s a ton of flavor here, so if you prefer a milder seltzer experience, maybe look elsewhere. Made with 7% juice, it’s not too much different than a Spindrift — just a little bolder. A pomelo is very much like a grapefruit, so if you’re into that, then give this a look.

Common in the Philippines, calamansi is a great choice for a sparkling water flavor. It’s kind of like you rolled a green apple, pear, orange, lemon, and lime into one fruit. This is quite tart, and I’m here for it. Absolutely no notes.

Seeing that yuzu is one of my favorite flavors in general, I wasn’t surprised to discover that I'm a fan of this option. Sanzo has smartly hit this with a bit of ginger, which I love. It’s nice to see yuzu standing solo when it usually shows up as the second half of a two-fruit flavor. This is piquant, refreshing, and delicious.
