ABOUT US
Rooted in a Journey, fueled by passion
Our journey commenced two decades ago, when our founder embarked on a mission that would profoundly shape the trajectory of our company. Amidst the enchanting landscapes of Arequipa, Peru, he stumbled upon a revelation that would kindle our fervor for excellence.
Nestled amidst the majestic Andes mountains, at an elevation of 7,670 feet, lies a concealed oasis—a valley retreat amidst the heart of a desert expanse. Here, water flows organically from the rock walls, untouched by human hands, delivering a taste both distinctive and elevated.
In the embrace of this captivating scenery stands a venerable bottling plant, a custodian of tradition since 1904.
This encounter etched an indelible mark on our founder’s memory and palate, sowing the seeds of a profound vision.
Five years hence, his professional journey led him through Latin and North America, allowing him to savor mineral waters from the farthest reaches of the globe. In 2019, while navigating the grocery store aisles of Atlanta, Georgia, he was struck by a familiar sight—a limited selection of premium water options. In the vast canvas of the US market, the absence of diverse water sources became evident, likely a challenge in many other parts of the world.
With a dedicated team of industry experts, we gave birth to Source to Bottle—a company with a dual purpose. Our mission is to unearth the world’s finest waters, each possessing a unique story and essence, and to offer discerning connoisseurs like you not just exceptional but health-conscious choices.
At Source to Bottle, we are fueled by a commitment to well-being. We are devoted to discovering the purest waters that offer both quality and health benefits. Our commitment transcends the pursuit of excellence—it encompasses the celebration of wellness, the quest for waters that are not only extraordinary but also nourishing.
Join us on this extraordinary journey as we celebrate the art of water, the life-giving elixir that unites us all, one bottle at a time
