Here is my Hint water review as it grows in popularity and seems to be the drink of choice for silicon valley.

Hint water came into existence in 2004 by Kara Goldin. Its selling point is that it’s sugar-free, completely natural and claims to have very high-purity but also sweet tasting because it contains fruit flavors.

Despite the fruit flavors the label says that it doesn’t contain sweeteners, calories, trace minerals, minerals, preservatives and even sugar. What’s more is that Hint water claims to be gluten free and vegan! 

So to put it simply, Hint water only contains natural fruit essences and oils. All of which come from different combinations of heating, cooling, dissolving and filtering.

Do you love your fizzy soda kick?

Then there is even a version of Hint water that is called Hint Fizz, which is Hint but with extra fizz.

This is why Hint water is so popular. It is a sugar-free, healthy, calorie-free, preservative-free alternative to soda. The idea is that you get a sweet-tasting drink to stay hydrated without having to worry about extra calories.

If all these claims stack up then it might be the answer for you if you are pregnant, diabetic or have any sort of gastrointestinal problem. Or perhaps you simply find the taste of natural water incredibly boring but understand the importance of hydration to your health.

The slogan is as follows: “Hint is pure water + a splash of natural fruit. 0 calories, 0 sugar, 0 diet sweeteners, 0 fake!”

This Hint Water review will see if these claims do in fact stack up and if it is something worth buying…

What Does Hint Water Taste Like?

There is no denying that Hint Water is tasty. I can confirm this having tried it for my self and lots of customer reviews online say the same. Especially those who drink the Tipp Water of Hint. Almost everyone enjoys the experience (myself included).

The best tasting hint water by far is the Hint Fizz variety. There is nothing quite like a little fizz to really bring the sweet fruit flavors alive.

Of course, everyone has their own unique taste. So it’s best to buy some for yourself and see if the taste suits you. They all taste different and you will certainly enjoy some flavors more than others as shown in the video below.

Yes but not in all of the flavors. Caffeine is only in Hint Tip Caffein Kick.

Caffeine is present in the Tip Caffeine Kick versions of Hint Water. Despite the caffeine, this variety of Hint is unsweetened and still contains fruit flavors. Kick offers 60 mg of caffeine per bottle and tastes similar to its other varieties.

Ingredients for Tip Caffeine Kick made by Hint: 0 artificial flavors, 0 sweeteners, 0 calories and 60 mg of caffeine.

Why Does Hint Pasteurize Their Water?

A quick look on the FAQ section of the Hint water website reveals that Hint is made with different techniques of reverse osmosis. This may include processes of deionization and ultraviolet light treatment. This water purification happens before flavors are added. However, the he final and slightly surprising step is that Hint water goes through is pasteurization.

Pasteurization simply means a process of killing microbes. So its therefore safe to assume that Hint pasteurizes to maintain quality. Pasteurization assures the water is microbe free and lasts longer.

Hint Water Alternatives

Water soaked in fruit is nothing new. This means that there are dozens of similar products, much like Hint Water. Okay, some of these use artificial sweeteners or contain sugar in their formulas, but the point is that you have options.

In fact, if you want to save money while formulating your own unique flavor profile, you can create fruit infusion water in your home for a fraction of the cost of Hint Water. You can even use sparkling water for your own version of Hint Fizz.

Hint Water Customer Feedback

At the time of my research, the customer Hint water review number is over 7,400 reviews on the Hint water website with an average rating of 5 stars. The general praise seems to revolve around its good taste, the lack of sugar and other ingredients, which helps to reduce (or eliminate) the consumption of soft drinks.

There are also 872 customer reviews from other online sources. These reviews specifically revolved around the Blackberry flavor of Hint Water. This flavor has an average rating of 4.1 stars.

Although many hint water reviews reflect those found on the Hint website, there are also some complaints. For instance one Hint water review complained about getting lower quality product compared to the original batches, another talked about a “chemical” taste and even some complaints that the water had gone bad (e.g a “rancid” taste). A few customers said that they asked the company for a solution but did not receive an answer.

Top 5 Reasons You Should Drink Hint Water

1. No fake ingredients (note water nutritional information) – 100% natural. 0 sugars, 0 sweeteners, 0 stevia, 0 preservatives, 0 calories and 0 GMO. Vegan and gluten free. Natural fruit oils and essences with pure H2O make the water of the track and the essence of Hint Fizz nice tasting. 
2. Comfort: You, the customer, can shop directly at Hint, which most beverage companies do not offer. Not only that, tip water can be sent directly to your door. No more hassle with the occasional inconvenience of using the store to carry water tanks. Hint Water also offers a monthly automatic shipping program so you do not have to worry about making your orders every month. Right now I have the taste of the month with auto shipping, every month a new taste of Hint Water comes to my door.
3. Taste: Did you know that 76 million Americans drink 72 million diet sodas each year? Now look at this, 76% of diet soda drinkers would reduce their dietary soda consumption. But they find a big obstacle; they distinguish the taste of water. The combination of pure water + natural ingredients means Hint Water offers this audience a lot of hope.
4. Diversity – Along with a great taste, Hint Water (as I mentioned earlier) offers a variety of flavors. Water stimulation of pineapple, blackberries, watermelons, peaches, pears, raspberries and more. Also for those who need a little morning help or just a midday soda, Hint Kick offers natural caffeine.
5. Hydration: A person can live for about 21 days without food; but not drinking any water in that time would mean death. Water is important to help metabolism, eliminate toxins, relieve headaches, aid digestion, support the immune system, prevent muscle spasms, and generally improve energy.
