Our StoryBorn of Mountains.Bottled at Source.Extraordinary by Nature.
From mountain to moment, from source to sip, every drop carries the strength, clarity and spirit of where it comes from, and of who it’s made for.
Two Sources.One Purity.
01
The Normandien Aquifer
Nestled in the foothills of the Klein Drakensberg
THIRSTI’s story began on Normandien farm, where a naturally occurring spring emerges from deep underground aquifers – exceptionally pure water enriched with naturally occurring minerals and a naturally alkaline pH, filtered through layers of rock and bottled at source. The Normandien source is the original home of THIRSTI.
02
The Tulbagh Basin
Filtered by the rugged Cape mountains
Surrounded by the majestic Groot Winterhoek, Witzenberg and Obiqua mountain ranges, this pristine catchment area provides water of exceptional purity. Fed by natural mountain runoff and the Klein Berg River system, the Tulbagh source mirrors the quality and mineral richness of the original Normandien spring – bottled at source, exactly as nature intended.
SustainabilityOur Commitment toSustainability
Sustainability at THIRSTI follows the triple bottom line: people, planet and profit. It is embedded in the way we operate our business every day.
Responsible Operations
Improving our impact
We create work and opportunity in the communities around our sources, we contribute to the economy we operate in, and we continue to make measurable progress on the environmental side – responsible water stewardship, waste reduction, improved recycling practices and ongoing investment in energy efficiency, including solar power and backup energy systems. Our packaging is fully recyclable, and recycling guidance already features across many of our product labels, with more added as the range grows. It isn’t about taking less. It’s about leaving things better than we found them.
Source Stewardship
Protecting the resource at the heart of our business
For us, sustainability goes beyond operations and packaging. As a natural spring water company, we recognise our responsibility to protect the resource at the heart of our business. We are committed to preserving and responsibly managing our natural water sources to ensure they remain sustainable and available for generations to come.
