Each liter carries 630 mg of dissolved minerals, which puts it in the medium mineral class. Its largest ion is bicarbonate at 230 mg/L, followed by sulfate (220) and calcium (140). Hardness works out to 391 mg/L as calcium carbonate. The label gives a pH of 6.2.
Sulfate at this level reads as a dry, slightly bitter finish.
