Description
- Vertical - 100% Pure Maple Water - 16.9 oz. (500mL) Vertical 100% Pure Maple Water is simply water, from a tree. With nothing added, Vertical Water is tapped fresh from American Maple trees. It is naturally delicious, 100% pure, and naturally low-calorie with a lightly sweet, thirst-quenching taste. It's not what you may think. Vertical Water is not sticky sap, not water mixed with maple syrup. It's the delicious water that maple trees filter naturally, sweeten lightly, and fortify with their own nutrients. It is bottled in a Tetra Pak which has a lower carbon footprint compared with other options, and it also requires the least amount of processing, so what you get actually tastes as if it just came out of the tree. A Mission to Conserve American Forests Sharing the maple water from forest owners’ trees gives them a financially viable reason for keeping their trees vertical longer. The Forest’s Best Kept Secret For centuries, maple water has been enjoyed by a lucky few locals in maple country. Pure and delicious, it’s a treat now available to you. As winter ends, warmer days trigger water to rise from the ground up into maple trees. This water flows vertically through trunks and branches, delivering nutrients for growth. Every drop is naturally filtered and fortified with trace nutrients. This flow is tapped, and – voilá – out comes the lightly sweet maple water that you will love. There’s no downside: the trees hardly know they are tapped, the water is constantly replaced through the roots, and you get to enjoy a chilled drink that refreshes every time – with 3 grams of sugar per 240 mL serving. It’s a mission to help conserve American forestland, and by drinking Vertical Water you’re part of that mission too. Maple Water = More Healthy Forests Feronia Forests is an award winning Certified B Corporation dedicated to conserving American forestland. Vertical Water was started as part of these efforts.

Feronia Forests is determined to make sure they stay healthy and growing. So they needed to be creative. By giving forest owners alternative ways to make money, Feronia Forests gives them good reasons to delay cutting trees down. It is called Sustainable Full Forestry. Vertical Water is one of these ideas. It helps reconnect people with forestlands, while conserving those trees at the same time. Vertical Water is sourced, bottled, and served exclusively in the U.S. And every drink you take makes you a part of that mission, too. It’s a good feeling. Clearing Up Some Misperceptions Maple water is not water with maple syrup added. Not even close. Vertical Water is naturally filtered by maple trees and enhanced by their nutrients. It’s tapped fresh, then bottled. Nothing is added. It’s perfect as is. Maple syrup is not what flows from tapped maple trees. That’s maple water, the raw ingredient in maple syrup. It takes boiling down 40 gallons of maple water to get just 1 gallon of maple syrup. Who knew? Maple sap is not thick and sticky. All trees have sap – it’s how they get their nourishment. And some saps, such as pine sap, are like glue. But a few species, such as maple and birch, have refreshing, water-like sap that flows in the spring. Maple water is not a byproduct of anything. It’s what comes right from the tree. Some makers sell the water that’s leftover from the maple syrup production process, but by then the sugar and most of the nutrients have been removed. They market it like fancy water but it tastes essentially like plain water. Vertical Water is the real thing, the water that comes straight from the maple tree. Nothing added, nothing removed.
