YMAYMA begins with water—carbonated water filled with
tiny bubbles that contain novel fruit, spice and flower flavors. The water comes
from a specific spring, which we will describe below. The spring that
supplies the raw material for YMA dates back to the Roman Empire and High Middle
Ages, and is located in Prahecq commune (about 200 kilometers from Bordeaux) in
a place called "Belle Croix." In those days, the site was a therapeutic hot
spring, a place where bathers could rest and relax. |
