Before it reaches the bottle, water travels through ancient limestone.
At Bear Lithia Springs, the water’s path through the land shapes its character. The source emerges naturally alkaline, carrying calcium, magnesium, silica, and bicarbonates gathered along the way. STRATA exists to keep that origin legible—from spring to glass.
