# Hibiscus Water Exotic Flavors of HINT Essence Water Range From Vanilla to Watermelon By John Muldoon | Published 2009-04-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hint-essence-water References: [drinkhint](http://www.drinkhint.com) I’ve been a big fan of HINT Water for a long time now and I was so excited when I was sent samples of the new summer flavors. The flavors include blackberry, [watermelon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-coconut-water-with-watermelon), honeydew hibiscus and hibiscus vanilla and they are delicious and refreshing. I’m not really a big fan of plain water so HINT is a perfect alternative as it has [no sugar calories or sweeteners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-drink-flavors). I recommend drinking it ice cold for the best taste. You can grab HINT at your local Whole Foods or at their website, [DrinkHint.com](http://www.drinkhint.com). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Exotic Flavors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique and unconventional flavor profiles for beverages. - **Sugar-free Alternatives:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing more healthy and natural alternatives to sugary drinks. - **Functional Hydration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating functional ingredients in beverages to enhance hydration benefits. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing new and innovative beverages to cater to changing consumer preferences. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating products that promote health and wellness by eliminating sugary additives. - **Retail Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering unique and differentiated products like HINT Water to attract and retain customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Replenishing Bubbly Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hint-sparkling-water.md) - [Limited-Edition Flavored Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-variety-pack.md) - [Sparkling Hibiscus Flower Water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-hibiscus-flower-water.md) - [Hydrating Melon Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mela-watermelon-water.md) - [Flavor-Enhancing Hydration Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweetleafs-water-drops.md) - [Watermelon-Infused Cactus Water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliwater.md) - [Flavor-Enhanced Spring Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavoured-still-water.md) - [Herbaceous Citrus Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citrus-sparkling-water.md) - [Honey-Infused Organic Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-infused-organic-water.md)
