Takaka Infusion
Takaka water has been judged as the country's best in a Close Up bid to find the best tasting water our nation has on offer. Elizabeth, from the iSite, entered water from her kitchen tap, which was ruled the best by master wine taster Bob Campbell and Auckland restauranteur Tony Astle. Takaka's water was described as "nectar of the gods".
