Reviews mention

  • Distinctive botanical flavor combinations
  • Refreshing, crisp drinking experience
  • Eye-catching, artistic packaging
  • Clean, zero-calorie formulation
  • Occasionally perfumey, medicinal taste
  • Inconsistent flavor intensity execution
  • Herb-forward, unbalanced profiles
  • Subtle, faint flavor notes

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.

  • One of my fave sparkling waters. Why, you may ask? Cause the flavours are next-level delicious and something different! Their marketing is p.e.r.s.o.n.a.l.i.t.y!

    More flavours. Keep em coming.

  • Not my favorite sparking water brand. I've tried the Strawberry Basil and Lemon Ginger, and the flavors don't taste natural or appealing. I wish they had a better flavor, but maybe it's just not my taste.

  • I like the flavor combos. I like the simplicity. I have a hard time with the combos and flavors though, sometimes. The ideas are great but the execution is not so great. I have found a few that are good, and I have a hard time wanting to explore others.

  • I tried the cactus rose water - it was so bad. I couldn’t even finish the can.

  • Really herbal flavor. Might need to be used as a mixer instead of drinking straight. Got the strawberry and basil flavor, but the basil is a bit too forward.

  • As a regular consumer of sparkling water, I was initially intrigued by Aura Bora's flavor options. Unfortunately, it stops there. The scent of them match the flavors, but the taste does not. When they came out with their collaboration with Graza for the non-alcoholic Olive Oil Martini flavor, I was excited. I love to try drinks in the non-alc space, and unfortunately again, this one fell short. If you're looking for scents, Aura Bora nails it. This faux dirty-martini has all of the briny scents of a classic dirty martini with olives. However, once you sip it, it could just as easily pass for a semi-flat plain sparkling water, as well. Sadly won't be purchasing again, but definitely props for putting the idea out there!

  • I was a HUGE fan of this product; so much so I started ordering directly from the company. BUT quickly learned they are VERY dishonest with product orders and delivery. Currently I am out $66 (plus tax) and they "Charlene" are taking zero responsibility. I am saddened by this experience; I liked their product so much but have to find new brand that is honest and reliable.

  • I'm fully obsessed with this brand and every flavor they make. Don't sleep on their Flavor of the Month subscription!! I just got Honey Pumpkin delivered to my door.

  • Love this brand of sparkling water. So different and refreshing. Wish I could find it in more stores.

  • Overall really love the drinks. My favorite so far is the lavender cucumber. Cute art and subtle flavor. Great mock-tail in a can.

  • Loved the feel of the packaging and the combination of flavours. It is a great on-the-go or relax-at-home drink option!
