The two premium still waters everyone can name, built on opposite ideas. Evian is the alpine benchmark. TDS 357, calcium-bicarbonate (80 mg/L calcium, 360 bicarbonate), balanced and faintly chalky, water with structure you can feel. Fiji is soft artesian water from a Viti Levu aquifer, lighter at TDS 230 but carrying the highest silica we track (96 mg/L), which drinks smooth and almost sweet, with far less calcium (19 mg/L) and little of Evian’s chalk.
Pick Evian when water should taste like a place, round, mineral, a little chalky, the reference glass. Pick Fiji for silky softness and the silica story, premium as texture rather than backbone.
