Aura Bora earns polarized reviews: the brand’s inventive herbal–fruit seltzers (Cactus Rose, Lavender Cucumber, Ginger Meyer Lemon, Peppermint Watermelon, Lime Cardamom) delight many with refreshing, crisp profiles and eye-catching cans, but others find flavors perfumey, basil- or herb-forward, or too faint, and note inconsistent execution. Reviews suggest it can be a standout mixer or soda alternative if you enjoy botanical notes, yet flavor balance and intensity vary widely across SKUs.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
We love aura Bora, the flavors are unique and we love the packaging.
I couldn’t get into these. Some of the flavors are totally overpowering and others are super weak. I like the idea of them, but for me, they are not worth the cost. A big bummer because the flavors SOUND so yummy!
These are nice drinks, but a little gross, but mostly because I don't love the flavor options. They are a little vegetable and herb heavy so it tastes a little planty. Of course, it's kind of good the flavors are strong, just not my cup of tea
It has beautiful packaging, and unique flavors. I really enjoyed the cactus rose flavor. It was a refreshing drink. I’m not a big fan of sparkling things, but I was pleasantly surprised by the 2 cans I had. It was very enjoyable.

I like sparkling water. The marketplace is quite crowded with different ones. Aura Bora I like their design and packaging. The taste is ok as well. Definitely doesn't stand out per se. But overall not a bad choice.
I have tried many of Aura Bora sparking water and they are my number one brand. They are a little expensive but they come in a bigger can and use extracts to flavor their drink. They have unique profiles like lavender cucumber and rose cactus that actually tastes very good. I love herbal aromas so this drink hits the spot for me when I want a refreshing fizzy drink. I also love their artistic can designs.

I wasn't a huge fan of these. The flavor combinations like cucumber lavender and strawberry basil are unique and fun to try, but I think I prefer more classic flavors. These are also expensive compared to other brands.
I think I may have tried every variety of these drinks. Each one so unique. I shared a box with my co workers and they were a hit. My favorite is cactus rose.
I tried a few flavors because a friend raves about the Green Bean Casserole flavor. The store didn't carry that flavor so I picked up other ones, but I didn't find any of them so memorable as to buy again. I would try them if a new flavor came up, because the combinations do seem interesting and the cans are cute.
I really like sparkling water and I liked the branding and vibes of this brand, but all of the flavors I've seen include an herby component and it just comes through so strongly in an off-putting way. Of course, if that's your thing, you'll probably love this brand!

The flavors of these sparkling water drinks are interesting, however they do not taste that great.

Aura Bora was okay. The flavors were unique, but not really my favorite. It’s a fun drink to try if you're into herbal drinks, but I’m not sure it’s something I’d go for again unless the flavor was a little different.
These are so good I love the flavor especially when it's cold it's a great pick me up on a hot day it's amazing

I've tried both the Cucumber Lavender and the Strawberry Basil. I think the quality is there but the flavors are just not my vibe. The Cucumber Lavender was very heavy on the lavender, very herbal - and the Strawberry Basil was almost savory. Just not my thing.

I like the creative and unique flavors in this brand. It is sparkling water so the flavors are very subtle. It is refreshing on a hot day and the natural ingredients including herbs, fruits, and flowers are definitely a plus!
A good choice for a refreshing drink. One of the many new, cool drinks to hit the market lately. Aura Bora has enough unique flavors to make it stand out in a good way. Sometimes a little on the sweet side for me, but will be a hit with anyone who likes a sweet, fruity sip.
I LOVE sparkling water and this one was just okay. You can tell that the flavors are there, but they aren’t memorable. I started using them in mixed drinks (because I didn’t care for it on its own) and that was much better because there’s some fizz, but not too much. Plus you’re adding other ingredients, so there is a lot more “to taste”. But I will say, I think the lavender cucumber is probably my favorite flavor. So if you plan to try it out, that would be my suggestion.
I've tried these drinks a few times and haven't quite fallen in love with them yet. I've tried the Cucumber Lavender, Strawberry Basil, Grapefruit Elderflower, and Cactus Rose. Of those I've somewhat liked the strawberry basil and grapefruit elderflower. I really wish they would come out with different flavors that weren't so bizarre.
I was surprised by how much I love the taste and flavor of these beverages. I like that they are made with simple ingredients without anything artificial and are really refreshing.
Aura Bora sparkling water comes in several unique flavor combinations and the design is so cute. So far I have tried the Cactus Rose and Raspberry Vanilla. While the Cactus Rose was a little too muted for me I found the Raspberry Vanilla to be bolder in taste. I love that they have 0 sugar. Great for when you want something a little more interesting and want to mix things up but don't want to go for a sugary pop. I purchased 6 packs on sale from a discount grocer which I think was a steal at the price I paid. However, if you go to their website they have a BOGO option for purchasing at a local retailer of your choice.
