Ayala's Herbal Water, created by pediatrician Ayala Laufer-Cahana, is a delicious all natural water flavored with herbs that has become a sensation in the beverage industry. The six sophisticated flavors have been featured in Prevention magazine and have garnered numerous awards ranging from the "Trail Blazer" award from Grocery Headquarters Magazine to "Editor's Pick" from Natural Products magazine.

Part of Ayala's appeal lies is the fact that it has zero calories, zero artificial additives and zero preservatives. At the same time the culinary herb infusions give each beverage a marvelous bouquet and flavors that aren't found in other products. Available in six refreshingly unique varieties -- Cinnamon Orange Peel, Lemongrass Mint Vanilla, Jasmine Vanilla, Lavender Mint Lemongrass Thyme, Cloves Cardamom Cinnamon, and Ginger Lemon Peel -- Ayala's evokes happy feelings, like a breeze in a sunny garden.

"Our customers are interested in their health and well being. They know that organic products benefit their bodies and the planet," commented Ayala. "I'm proud that we have taken so much care in creating our herbal water and I'm delighted that we have earned the organic certificate for our efforts."

Launched originally in Philadelphia, Ayala's is now available from New York to Virginia and California too. The company is working to expand to cities across the country. Noted Ayala, "The response we've had from people across the country for Ayala's Herbal Water has just been phenomenal. Consumers everywhere should look for Ayala's Herbal Water in their city soon or visit www.herbalwater.com to order online."
