For those unfamiliar, San Pellegrino's Essenza line offers customers a calorie-free sparkling water option that leans into unique fruit flavor combinations.
According to the company, the Black Orange & Black Raspberry delivers a delicate and sophisticated flavor profile that starts off sweet and ends tangy.
