About us

Metromint is the brain-child of Rio Miura and Scott Lowe. Miura was born in Japan and has a background in product and fashion design. She conceived the recipe for Metromint and designed the label and bottle. Lowe, a Stanford graduate with a degree in International Relations, is responsible for product development and manufacturing. Together the two formed Soma Beverage Company in a loft in San Francisco’s South of Market district (SOMA), a neighborhood that is home to artists, high-tech start-ups, and the entrepreneurial spirit.

Combining the purest ingredients with innovative packaging and extraordinary taste, Metromint single-handedly created a new beverage category called mintwater. Metromint already has a loyal following. Four years in the making, Metromint was introduced to the public at the New York Fancy Food Show in 2004. Since then it has been flying off shelves. In 2004 Peppermint won BevNet’s best new product award. And in 2006 Spearmint won a Best New Beverage Award at the Natural Products Expo West.
