Sanzo earns positive reviews for refreshing, Asian-inspired sparkling waters that taste clean and often true to fruit—standouts include Lychee, Calamansi, and Yuzu—so yes, the brand works as a flavorful, low-sugar alternative. Reviews also flag inconsistencies: several flavors read muted or overly tart/sour, carbonation can feel either too soft or too aggressive, and pomelo/mango divide opinion, making the lineup hit-or-miss for some.

This is my favorite of all the Sanzo flavors! It’s so refreshing and the flavor is great, not artificial tasting like some other sparkling water brands. I generally like their flavors, but the Pomelo one is awful—it just tastes like the pith of a citrus fruit to me.

Sanzo Sparkling waters are exactly what the name says: perfectly carbonated water with fruit puree. No added sugar nor sweeteners of any sort. I typically buy the Lychee version. It reminds me of the drink Izze, but it’s NOT sweet! Basically, it gives some subtle natural tasting flavor to plain water. My local Harris Teeter carries it now, but I still find it just a touch high in price. This week it’s on sale, so I stocked up!

Always on the lookout for wine alternatives to have with dinner, when I want something a little more interesting than water. Still looking, but I’m enjoying this product. The yuzu is perhaps a bit bland - though still very pleasant. The pomelo flavor is excellent but a bit much as an accompaniment to dinner. Picky much? Still a very pleasant soft drink.

These sparkling seltzer juices are very refreshing. I appreciate that they are made without added sugar. They are bright and clean and have flavors that feel unique in this market. On the downside they are not cheap at all.

So far I enjoy the Sanzo sparkling waters. Their Asian inspired flavors are unique. The lychee one is my favorite but I’ve also had the yuzu and calamansi. I’ll keep all three in rotation. They are different than regular sparkling water because they contain some of the fruit. I’ll definitely buy them again.

I liked the taste of the lychee flavor that I tried. I like that these drinks make use of unconventional flavors, and I would like to try more from this brand.

Sanzo is delicious and refreshing. You can't tell there was zero added sugar. I tried the Yuzu with ginger and I wish I had bought more than one to try. I'll definitely be purchasing these again.

Love the branding and story.

Doesn't really have a strong flavor so is kinda just very very lightly flavored seltzer water.

I had the Calamansi lime flavor and really liked it! Unlike other sparkling water with little fizz, I found that Sanzo had a great amount of flavor to fizz. Excited to try more flavors.

Is it still recyclable if it has this plastic outer casing? I would love to know!

I like the mango flavour 🥭🥭🥭

I would love to understand better how these cans that have a plastic coating do in recycling? Should I peel off the coating myself before recycling or what's the deal?

I love the diverse flavor profiles available in the sanzo brand. I tried the Lychee flavor and it packs a punch. You can really taste the Lychee juice in the sparking water. And lastly I absolutely love their product packaging! And can't wait to try the rest of their flavors. The only downside is the price.

its authentic lychee flavor and refreshing, low-calorie profile. The flavor unique and exotic, while others appreciate the clean ingredients and lack of artificial sweeteners. However, some I find the taste subtle or experience a slight vinegar-like aftertaste.

This review is for Thingtesting with no discount. I bought the Sanzo drink at Sprout's store. It is an Asian inspired aparkling water. One thing I noticed at first sip is it wasn't sweet tasting. I bought the Yuzu with Ginger and the Calamansi. The Calamansi is a small tangy citrus fruit . a hybrid of a mandarin orange and a kumquat. I had no idea what a Calamansi was. Taste like a lime. The ingredients are so clean and natural. It is the puree of the fruit and carbonated water. You know exactly what you are drinking. It can't get any better than that. I will definitely try other flavors. I recommend.

Lychee was the best, it’s good for what it is. But it’s kind of pricey. I liked it but I don’t think I’ll be buying it very often due to the price point to product ration, but we’ll see. It’s a good product and worth it if you don’t mind the price.

I was so excited to try Sanzo! I was incredibly disappointed by the Mango flavor. It looks super flavorful and it tasted like absolutely nothing. It just tasted like plain sparkling water. I will definitely try other flavors but I'd avoid the mango.

Tried the Sanzo Lychee (I love lychee). A little sour from the added citric acid, but generally light and refreshing. Didn’t have that sweet lychee taste I was looking for exactly, but still delicious.

I highly enjoyed this lychee flavored sparkling water. I suppose I use flavor in more loose terms as it was less of a flavor and more like an actual juice in addition to this crisp sparkling water. I thought it was very refreshing and the packaging is eye catching on the shelf. Always a huge plus when you’re a beverage girly who likes to not only enjoy what you’re drinking but, feel extra cute when coupled with a handsomely labeled beverage. The only negative I found was that my can had little tiny bits of what I assume to be lychee? Honestly still don’t know what it was and it was a little jarring at first as my friend had her own Sanzo in the same flavor and her bev was totally clear. I got over it quickly because the flavor was addicting. Other than that, sign me up for a Sanzo!

I like the refreshing, fruity taste of Sanzo a lot! I got a variety pack of the calamansi, mango, and lychee and really liked the lychee flavor. Love the Asian flavors, and big fan of the branding.

I'm from Canada but I'd been seeing Sanzo on my Insta feeds for months at that point. When I finally got the chance to head to NYC, this was one of the brands that I looked for in Brooklyn and the one of three drinks that stood out to me the most -- from it's bold flavours and clearly, truly, real fruit. Please come to Canada!!
