A benchmark against a blank page. Evian (TDS 357) is the reference point for “balanced mineral water”: calcium-bicarbonate, round, a little chalky, unmistakably water with something in it. Voss (TDS 44) is engineered restraint from a Norwegian aquifer — one-eighth the minerals, no story on the palate at all, by design.
Pick Evian when you want to taste that you’re drinking spring water. Pick Voss when water’s job is to disappear — espresso chasers, whisky, or the cleanest possible cold glass.
