For years, I have been buying Tesco Slightly Sparkling Flavoured Water. I have tried various different flavours, such as peach, white grape and blackberry, and lemon and elderflower. But my favourite is apple and raspberry, so this is what I will base this review on.

~Price/Taste~

All of the flavoured water is currently priced at 45p, and they are available at Tesco stores as well as online. They come in 1 litre bottles, so I think this is excellent value for money. I didn't really expect much from this when I first bought it years ago, because they are very cheap, and don't look very professional e.g. the packaging looks very basic, but I was wrong. The flavoured water tastes absolutely amazing, and I buy it very often. The flavours are very distinctive, so it is very easy to tell what the flavour is just buy tasting it. As well as this, they are all very low in calories and sugar, although it does vary very little in different flavours.

~Nutritional Information~

The Apple and Raspberry flavoured drink contains:

Per 250ml:
Calories - 5
Carbohydrates - 0.6 grams
Sugar - 0.6 grams
Fat - 0 grams
Saturates - 0 grams
Fibre - 0 grams
Sodium - trace

As an example, the white grape and blackberry flavoured water has 6 calories,and 0.8 grams of sugar. So there really isn't much difference of the nutritional side of the different flavours. I was very impressed with how little calories and sugar this product has, because it tastes sweet and very filling and enjoyable.

~Packaging~

The flavoured water is packaged very basically, however, it does look more appealing than some Tesco products packaging. The bottles have a slight blue tint to them, and are shaped quite nicely as the neck starts narrow at the top and the bottle gets wider towards the bottom. The label around the side has a picture of the what the flavour is based on e.g. Apples and Raspberries, as well as having the name of the flavour at the top. The packaging has been slightly modified and modernised from what it shows in the photo above. The label also gives you all of the basic things you find on a label such as the nutritional information, a best before date, storage instructions, and so on.

~General~

The only slight complaint I have about this drink is that because it is sparkling flavoured water, you will always face the problem that once you have opened the lid, the fizz will eventually die out. It last only a couple of days, but for 45p, you can't complain too much. However, once it has gone flat, the taste is slightly different. One time, a few months back, the bottle had been open for about 5 or 6 days, and it had gone flatiron, and it tasted absolutely disgusting. However, I can't remember what flavour water that was, and I think the recipe may have been tweaked when they introduced the new packaging, but I can't be sure. Also, as the water only comes in 1 litre bottles, it isn't often that I have not drunk it within 2 or 3 days.

The flavoured water is best kept in the fridge. I find that it tastes best when chilled. However, it tastes almost as good at room temperature as well.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who likes fruit flavoured drinks. It tastes delicious, and at 45p, what could go wrong? <-- Famous last words!
