Built for this water
Parthenope
The reference blend, built for the middle of the spread. In Naples that is the high ground — the Vomero, Posillipo, Chiaiano, the Sanità — where the water sits near 21 French degrees. Dense, dark, long on the tongue. If your water lands in the middle, start here and do not move.

The water in Plovdiv runs from 87 ppm to 257 ppm — a spread of 170 ppm that crosses Soft → Medium → Hard. That is not imprecision: a city this size is served by several waterworks, and the average describes no tap in particular. Check which works supplies your street before you trust a city figure, ours included.
