Michael Mascha’s, “Fine Waters: A Connoisseur’s Guide to the World’s Most Distinctive Bottled Waters” was published in 2006. The five taste periodicity (salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and savory) were used to discuss 100 bottled water brands by Mascha. However, common water terms:
1. “balance[CO2]”,
2. “salinity[Na]”,
3. “orientation[pH]”,
4. “hardness[Ca/Mg]”,
5. “virginality[ nitrate/NO3]” I
above terms are used by Michael Mascha. This is the best book on water that I have ever seen.
