PERMEATING
01

Permeating

Rainwater falling on a pristine area 1,450 meters
within Jeju Hallasan National Park takes 18-22 years to reach
the groundwater layer deep underground, and is purified completely on its way. VIEW ALL +

HOLDING

Holding

Unlike water in a river, groundwater does not flow while underground,
but settles in cracks and fissures between rocks.
It does not have time to stagnate as it constantly seeps
deeper into rocks which purify it as it travels.VIEW ALL +

Brand Road

STEP 1: We extract clean groundwater,
filtered through volcanic bedrock
420 meters underground.

STEP 2: Raw water is stored after collection from underground.
The excellent quality requires little processing and UV sterilization
before storage in tanks.

STEP 3: For greater control over product hygiene,
we manufacture our own bottles and caps.

STEP 4: Each step, from washing of containers to sealing of the end product,
is performed in a hygienic manner in a clean room.
Upon marking the date of bottling on the labels,
we comprehensively inspect for overall quality,
from checking for foreign substances
at bottle mouth to sealing to quantity.
