LOS ANGELES — Apparently, so-called “sacred water” is better than Dasani, or the stuff that comes out of the tap. So much so, a luxury grocery store in Los Angeles is selling a cup of its sacred water for $12 each.

Erewhon has opened the tap on its new Sacred Water, which includes ice and add-ons in a 12-ounce cup for $12, or $1 an ounce.

It’s sold at the chain’s Tonic Bar and is a partnership with shower filter Jolie, People magazine reported.

The store describes the beverage as “a clarified herbal tonic infused with Organic Jasmine Tea and Botanical Extracts— served as a refreshing elixir poured over ice."

Looking at the other ingredients — organic coconut water, organic jasmine tea, organic raw honey, organic holy basil, organic anise hyssop, organic green cardamom, organic white grape juice, organic coconut milk — it seems much more than just H2O, despite the name.

As People noted, this is not the first time a product sold at Eerwhon has gone viral. The store has sold a $19 strawberry from a luxury Japanese fruit vendor and $30 cocktail ice.

“Sacred Water” will be available until the end of September at its 13 locations in Los Angeles County, KTLA reported.
