After reading a review on Evian, it somehow prompted me to write a review for one of the other brands I usually drink - Buxton. Silly and foolish as I often am, I didn't realise until after submitting the suggestion on Dooyoo that there wasn't really much to write on a bottle of water...and so I had hoped that the suggestion wouldn't come through so quickly. I had one that didn't come through for three days, though another was approved the next day...
The suggestion was approved in three days - eek! I still hadn't written it yet, after a putting it off a further three days, how I truly feel about Buxton water, well, I just hope it makes sense to you guys...
Special Features: ******************* Buxton water, as its name suggest originates from Buxton. Collected and bottled at its source, the St Ann's spring - the water makes its journey through the ancient limestones of the Peak District, gathering all the minerals along the way and emerges at a warm temperature of 27.5 degrees centigrade regardless of the weather. Buxton water is known to be one of the purest in the UK.
The taste? *********** How can you describe the taste of water? I certainly can't - pretty stupid thing to do to make a suggestion of it then...huh!
Anyway, with what I find with the water, the taste is significantly different from tap water, well, at the least the tap water than comes from out of my kitchen. Coincidently, it does seem to have a purer taste - a soothing, fresh feel. Personally I always felt that our tap water tastes a little bit on the chalky side, but I think that's just a matter of the regional 'hard' / 'soft' water thing.

But concentrating on the taste, compared with Evian, Buxton has a more rounded taste and feels more grounded, Evian appears to give higher over tones - a subtle zingy taste that can felt on the tip of the tongue, almost giving a bitter taste. This is felt even more when the water has been chilled, and often at that point even being thirsty I don't find it easy to drink Evian at refrigerated temperatures.
I feel more comfortable drinking Buxton, even at freezing temperatures. It tastes more interesting and feels more three dimensional as such that all your taste buds will definitely agree. ;)
Cost: ***** Buxton is actually slightly cheaper than a lot of the other brands. For a 50ml bottle - approx. 45p 1-litre bottle - around 79p 2-litre bottle - around 96p!
Advantages: Crisp ,clear taste. Disadvantages: The government do not regulate bottled water for micro organisms .
...or boring.
Back to Buxton natural mineral water.It comes in a clear bottle as mostmineral waters do.It has a label with Buxton in large black letterson the front and a picture of a green landscape. Probably supposed to be the peak district.
On one side of the bottle it tells you about the source of the water."St Ann's Spring -lies in the heart of the beautiful peak district.Filtering through ancient limestone to a depth of 1500 metres--"
There ... ...does it?!
Why choose Buxton water ? Well I did try one or two other waters but found some to have a strange taste.
And I am a northerner so this is a bit of northern loyalty as well .And I like Buxton as a place to visit- so not very technical or scientific.Though I do like the official analysis as there isn't a large quatity of any of the harmful minerals listed.
The taste is very fresh and crisp.And I think thanks to the bottle ,the water always ...

Advantages: You need it to live really. Disadvantages: There are cheaper substitutes.
...a little less chalky.
Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, nestled within the Peak District national park, Great Britain. They supposedly have mountains there, but that’s Britain’s perception of everything: “It’s bigger than me, therefore it must be the biggest thing ever”. Any ski-ers will no doubt verify that the Peak District is just the stomping ground of some big moles.
Well...the bottled mineral water in this instance hails from Buxton and ... ...a small friendly family of Buxton locals. It doesn’t work like that anymore. If you wish to complain, find a friend or order a curry then they print a freephone number on the side which takes you their customer services department.

(Don’t type ‘Buxom’ into a search engine by mistake, that’ll take you somewhere very different.)
It’s plain, it’s just water really; but if they say it’s good for you then who am I to ...

Advantages: Refreshing! Disadvantages: Can taste a bit mouldy-ish!
...Anyway onto the product...
Buxton is a still, natural, mineral water and is bottled at souce, which is the St. Ann's Spring. It tastes fresh and crisp, which is good. Obviously water doesn't taste or smell much, but it does make your mouth lovely and refreshed. It is very clear and clean water, because it has been purified to make sure it reaches you in the most perfect condition. It is a much, much healthier option for hydration, rather than all ... ...that give you the wonderful Buxton mineral water. The pH at source is 7.4, which is a neutral solution. However, it can taste slightly mouldy if it is left out after a day, which most waters aren't usually like that until a few extra days. You should store it in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight as usual. This product may not be suitable for young children, as the cap is very small. And do not forget to recycle the bottle after you've ...

Advantages: Refreshing, available in most places, lid can be replaced for a later time Disadvantages: Expensive (for some water), leaves a bit of an aftertaste
...about these things. This is Buxton Natural Mineral Water.
So why am I reviewing something like this? Have I gone completely barmy, that I want to tell you about water? No - I want to make you aware of what you could have to buy if you get caught thirsty in the middle of town without your handy thermos flask. The fact that water flows free in streams, rivers and oceans all over the world is not of any significance to these penny-pinching companies. ... ...few gulps of water. Is it worth it? Read on!
PACKAGING:
The water comes in a plastic bottle. The size of the bottle depends on the quantity of water you want. I'm going to review the 50cl bottle, because that's the one I've got. • The plastic is quite sturdy, so won't get punctured or split whilst your drinking.
• On the top is a blue bottle cap, which can come in useful when you're not so thirsty that you want to drink it all. Just ...

...am going to write about Buxton Natural Mineral Water. Nowadays with so many mineral/spring waters on the market it is hard to chose between, what do you go on? the taste? - but they taste similar, the bottle? the way they are marketed, the choice is difficult, so I just picked one up off the shelf and it happened to be Buxton.
