Saskia
Saskia is Lidl’s own-brand bottled water. In the UK, it is bottled at Lichfield, Staffordshire. In Germany, the brand draws from five different springs (Kirkel, Löningen, Jessen, Wörth am Rhein, and Leißling), each with a different mineral composition, meaning the profile varies by region. This is worth noting: Saskia is not a single water but a brand name applied to multiple sources.

Mineral character
The mineral profile for Saskia in the TWD database is currently incomplete. Label data from UK bottles (Lichfield source) shows calcium at 40 mg/L, magnesium at 14 mg/L, sodium at 6 mg/L, bicarbonate at 166 mg/L, chloride at 11 mg/L, and sulphate at 10 mg/L. This profile is notably similar to Tesco Elmhurst, which shares the Staffordshire sourcing area. However, these figures apply only to the Lichfield source; other Saskia sources will differ.
