The Terroir collection
Explore the character of water.
Mineral balance changes the way you experience a glass. Choose a named profile, adjust individual minerals and save the combination you prefer.
Composition gives water character.
As water moves through the environment, it carries dissolved substances, including minerals. Their combination helps explain why two clear glasses can taste different.
Atelier makes mineral balance a choice at the dispenser. The Terroir menu offers named starting points, while Custom opens the individual calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium targets.
Temperature and carbonation are separate settings. Compare the minerals first at the same temperature, then try your preferred balance with bubbles.
Izumi.
Izumi provides a lighter mineral starting point, with lower calcium and magnesium settings than Alpin. Begin with still water to explore the profile on its own.
Try it at your usual drinking temperature, then with a meal. If you want to change the balance, open Custom and adjust one mineral while keeping the other settings unchanged.
- Start with
- Still water and your usual serving size.

- Change one mineral target, then compare with the original profile.
Jökla.
Jökla offers another light balance, with a different proportion of the four mineral settings. It gives you a useful comparison with Izumi: similar overall direction, a different recipe.
Taste the two side by side in identical glasses. Keep temperature and serving size the same, and note your preference before looking back at the settings.
- Start with
- A side-by-side comparison with Izumi.

- Try the selected balance chilled, then add your preferred carbonation.
Alpin.
Alpin starts with more calcium and magnesium than Izumi or Jökla. It is the fuller mineral option among the three named profiles.
Compare it still first, then with the carbonation you enjoy at the table. Save the combination when the mineral balance, temperature and sparkle work together for you.
- Start with
- Still water, alongside one of the lighter profiles.
- Explore next
- A sparkling recipe with the same mineral balance.
Four minerals, adjusted individually.
Custom gives each mineral its own target in milligrams per liter. That is a concentration setting: the selected amount relative to a liter of water.
Calcium and magnesium are the principal contributors to water hardness. Potassium and sodium are separate dissolved-mineral choices in the recipe. Keeping all four visible makes it easier to compare and repeat your settings.
| Mineral | Screen label | How to explore it |
|---|---|---|
| Calcium | Ca · mg/L | Adjust calcium while holding magnesium and the other targets fixed. |
| Magnesium | Mg · mg/L | Compare changes alongside the calcium setting, one adjustment at a time. |
| Potassium | K · mg/L | Use its separate control to change the balance without changing calcium or magnesium. |
| Sodium | Na · mg/L | Adjust independently, then compare the whole recipe at the same serving temperature. |
Make a useful comparison.
A small tasting works best when you change one variable at a time. Begin with two or three mineral profiles, then investigate temperature or bubbles separately.
Write down what you notice in your own words: first impression, weight on the palate, finish and how the water works with food. The useful result is the combination you want to pour again.
Prepare
Use identical clean glasses and the same temperature and serving size.
Compare
Taste still water first. Use simple labels so the profile name does not lead the choice.
Adjust
Change one mineral, temperature or carbonation setting and taste again.
Save
Keep the full combination under a name you recognize in Recipes.
