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.

These are pretty good! Refreshing, light, and not sweet, definitely more on the subtle side of flavored sparkling waters. I’ve tried a bunch of flavors: Cherry: Pretty good Strawberry Basil: Didn’t love it Ginger Meyer Lemon: My favorite Lavender Cucumber: Not for me Cactus Rose: Also pretty good Unique flavors - some are hit or miss depending on personal taste. Worth trying if you like herbal or floral flavors in your drinks.
Tried the strawberry basil and I’m not sure how much I believe there was any strawberry and not just basil in there. Maybe a slight hint of sweetness but felt like primarily a basil drink. Became increasingly unpleasant to drink as I went on.

The flavors and cans are so fun – it has a great taste without any sweetener
This is my favorite sparkling water drink the ginger and lemn is strong so be ware but i love that it is 0 calories and gives you that bubbly energy to start your day
I mayyyy be one of Auta Boras number one fans! This is my favorite drink !!! All the flavors are soooo unique the packaging is to die for and honestly drinking these makes me feel euphoric. I love the taste and the cans ugh just SO aesthetic

My absolute favorite sparkling water and love that they use herbal essences. Creative yet delicious flavors.
I haven't tried the more herb-y flavors (like the ones with basil etc) but I did like the cactus rose, grapefruit elderflower, and ginger Meyer lemon. I don't drink a ton of sparkling water but these did taste better than some other ones that I have tried. They are sadly a lot more expensive than other sparkling water brands so I really only pick it up on sale.
The definitely hooked me with their packaging- I absolutely LOVE the labels. The flavors did not disappoint, really refreshing and beautiful flavor combinations.
Very unique but enjoyable flavors, in my opinion. A little pricey for sparkling water tho
It is refreshing. Was delicious
I love these, especially because they are low sugar. Super refreshing and light.
I think the branding and social media presence is my favorite thing about this brand. They're absolutely adorable, and each can comes with a cute little haiku. The flavors are more of a "spa" presence, so I'd skip if you prefer strong flavors, but they do the trick on a hot, relaxing afternoon :)
And first when I saw herbal drink, I had planted memories of bitter aftertastes and disappointing flavors. Aura Bora is neither of these. I've tried three varieties so far, and it's hard to pick which is my favorite but I'm going to go with the Cactus Rose. They have been intensely refreshing at the end of a very hot day, and now that the temperatures are cooling a bit I find myself enjoying them just as much with dinner as something a little more exciting than water. Full flavored and lightly bubbly, I don't feel heavy after drinking these. Also the packaging and can designs are also beautiful.

The strawberry basil was too basil-forward for me, but the ginger meyer lemon flavour tasted almost like a Sprite!
I was looking for a fun new sparkling water and stumbled upon the Cucumber Lavender and I can safely say I am OBSESSED! Wish it wasn't so pricey but I could drink this every day for the rest of my life and not get tired of it. It has such a nice refreshing flavor.
The flavors unfortunately weren’t for me, but the packaging is so fun! I’d definitely try some of the flavors I haven’t yet just to see if there’s a combo I like! I would recommend trying though!
These sparkling waters are really good! I love the flavors (so unique) and the labels. I alway pick these up from Sprouts when I see them on sale, and occasionally when I want to treat myself. I've tried the Cactus Rose, Grapefruit Elderflower, and Strawberry Basil flavors, all delicious! The flavors are well balanced and not overpowering.
I did not really like the first can I tried; it tasted like sparkling water that had been sitting in a carved out cactus filled with rose petals. The second can though, I found a bit refreshing and I realized that the flavor was growing on me. The rose extract is not too strong and the aftertaste is a little bitter but goes away quickly. I appreciate that this product has no artificial flavors, no sugar, and no calories; as well as being non-GMO. The Cactus Rose flavor was the only one available in my store; I would like to find and try the Lavender Cucumber and Strawberry Basil flavors.
Really wanted to like it, the packaging is so pretty but I just couldn’t enjoy the taste. Wouldn’t get again.
