Sanzo earns largely positive reviews for delivering refreshing, Asian fruit–driven sparkling waters—standouts include Lychee, Calamansi, and Yuzu—with clean ingredients, real juice, and balanced fizz that many use as mixers; however, reviews also flag inconsistent flavor intensity (especially Mango), occasional tartness or odd aftertaste, and requests for more bubbles and more flavors. Branding delights, but some dislike the plastic sleeve/packaging aesthetics and question recyclability.

This sparkling water has very unique flavors, but are also very tasty. My favorite is the lychee flavor. It is not artificial.
I like the mango and calamansi flavors but all the others are just okay. There is nothing super original now that the market is flooded with sparkling water brands. It is okay,

I tried the Yuzu and the Mango and it was just ok. I guess I prefer sparkling drinks with a little more flavor. Just felt kind of blah to me.
These are my favorite sparkling water brand. They are very flavorful and contain real fruit.
Love this sparking water with cool, interesting flavors. Just enough sweetness from the fruit essences, without any actual sugar. Sanzo is easy to drink and also makes a great mixer for homemade cocktail creations.

Love these unique flavors and the taste is so natural. Huge convert to Sanzo over Spindrift, La Croix, etc
I tried the lychee Sanzo flavor- as someone who doesn't gravitate to sparking water I enjoyed it. The flavor is subtle and I like the ingredients list. I was expecting something a little sweeter with the lychee flavor, my personal preference, but good nonetheless.
Love this brand, love the flavors, love the branding.
I found Sanzo in Austin one year at SXSW but finally saw that my Whole Foods is carrying the brand! I love their flavor profiles, it was my go-to beverage during dry January because they are fruit forward but not artificially sweet. Very refreshing! My only hesitation on a 5/5 is that they are a little pricy compared to other products in this category. Though I find the product to be leaps better in flavor than the cheaper alternatives (eg. Kirkland sparking water)
Tried Sanzo seltzer and honestly, it was pretty meh. The east-Asian-inspired flavors are a cool concept, but the taste didn’t really pop. If you’re after something bright and bold, actual Asian sodas and seltzers are way better. Not terrible, just forgettable.

I love the concept and the clean ingredients. I’ve only tried one flavor (yuzu with ginger) and it was just ok. I would repurchase as a clean replacement where I needed a sparking water (e.g., for making a cocktail/mocktail), but I generally wouldn’t purchase this to drink on its own.

One of my all-time favorite flavored sparkling waters. It actually tastes like the fruit it’s supposed to, which is surprisingly rare. No weird artificial aftertaste, not overly sweet or acidic, just the perfect amount of flavor. Super refreshing and crisp.
My favorite flavor is lychee and it will not disappoint!!! It’s also good for mixing drinks or just having something that is 0 calories and still getting the feel like your drinking a soda or sparkling juice!!

Very innovative flavors, and they run great sales at Whole Foods. Love that it’s made from actual authentic fruit juice and not fake artificial flavors. Support your AAPI businesses!
yummy seltzer! the yuzu is great, tart and sparkling!
Love the flavors, hate the cost.
These are so good and flavorful considering how low-calorie they are. The calamansi is a unique flavor!
Pretty good but can have more fruity flavours

I'm not typically a fan of sparkling water but the lychee flavor is ~chefs kiss~
The first time I tried the calamansi flavor I was hooked! It's a great cross between a lime/tangerine!!
