Metromint spreading across Midwest US

26/07/05 The United States, Metromint, the original, all-natural mintwater that combines pure water with peppermint for an exhilarating taste, is moving into widespread availability in the Midwest.

Metromint is the original mintwater, pure and simple. No sweeteners. No calories. No carbs. No preservatives. Using proprietary technology, Metromint gets its exhilarating taste using only two ingredients: pure, crystal-clear water and natural peppermint. Not only does peppermint provide rapid refreshment and an instant cooling sensation, it also provides several all-natural benefits: mint calms the nerves, soothes and revives the body, stimulates the brain, energizes the senses, increases the appetite, and aids in digestion. The natural menthol in Metromint freshens the breath, and can reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and clear congestion related to colds and allergies.

Metromint is the brainchild of husband and wife team Rio Miura and Scott Lowe. Wanting to create an all-natural beverage that cools the body beyond plain water, Miura conceived of Metromint to take advantage of mint's natural cooling properties. Metromint quickly became a leader in a whole new beverage category called mintwater, combining functional and flavored water.

Metromint is a product of the Soma Beverage Company, LLC., a small group of innovative San Francisco beveragistas dedicated to making great-tasting beverages that combine the purest ingredients with innovative packaging and extraordinary taste. Metromint is available in select stores nationwide, including Dominick's in the Chicago area.
