The Same "Borjomi," Now With New Packaging Mineral water “Borjomi” updates its packaging. The brand with 135 years of history will gradually introduce its updated visual identity to both Georgian and export markets. The new visual identity is inspired by the rich history of the brand. The main symbol of “Borjomi” – a deer is prominently featured on the updated packaging, appearing on both the front of the bottle and the center side of the label. The key elements that define “Borjomi” over the years, including the mountains of Borjomi, which together with the logotype, the deer and the buvette combined in one modern oval visual image, are even more emphasized. Additionally, the name is highlighted in both Georgian and English in the central part of the label. The green cap of “Borjomi” remained unchanged. The renewed packaging further emphasizes the premium nature of the brand. British branding agency Osborne Pike worked on the redesign of the first Georgian mineral water “Borjomi”.  According to the company, the new packaging emphasizes the continuity and long history of “Borjomi”. At the same time, the updated visual identity gives the brand an opportunity to expand categories and retain a connection with the products in the portfolio, a vivid example of which is Borjomi Lemonade.

Vincent Perez: Zen of cinematic

Vincent Perez: Zen of cinematic

The term "interview" originates from the French word "entrevue," which means "to see each other." Indeed, a profound interview has the power to provide insight, and seeing someone often leads to appreciation and an expansion of consciousness. A well-conducted interview can unveil the hidden treasures within oneself and inspire a leap of faith. Each of us possesses an inner treasure, and Vincent Perez is no exception. His depth of perception and emotional resonance with events are truly remarkable. From this interview, you'll discover that we're not merely in the presence of an ordinary actor, but rather a genuine philosopher. Vincent Perez, a Swiss actor and director, has shared the screen with legendary actors such as Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Adjani, Kim Basinger, and Gérard Depardieu. However, he is most widely recognized for his portrayal of "Fafan Tita," a role where even Sophie Marceau herself had to campaign for. Perez recently visited Georgia to film a commercial in Borjomi. His partner in this endeavor, no less esteemed than the aforementioned stars, was Tina Dalakishvili, who enchanted Perez with the magical tales of Borjomi. Perez himself acknowledges the depth of this project, stating: "I came here for an advertisement, but this venture delves into the profound roots of Georgia." As much as a person can delve into their own depths, they perceive the external world with the same profundity. Vincent Perez embodies this principle. "When there's a sense, it's about me." Perez was deeply moved by the Ensemble Rustavi concert: "The vigor of these dancers still resonates within me, and I wish for it to linger indefinitely... I was moved to tears; it was profoundly authentic." At times, we learn more about our own country through the eyes of our guests. Guests illuminate what is valuable, what requires nurturing, and what is uniquely ours yet scarce elsewhere. Perez also offers insights: "Here, I feel an authenticity that nourishes my spirit. It's akin to water; essential for sustenance. That's why I'm drawn here. Maintaining a connection with one's roots is crucial. In many places, this connection is lost, resulting in a loss of identity."   Perez intends to introduce Georgia to his friends soon, and there's a possibility of utilizing its scenic beauty as a filming location. He was particularly drawn to Svetitskhoveli, not only for its architectural splendor but also for its inherent power. Perez observes, perceives, and immerses himself fully in experiences. Perhaps, this is the essence of a true creator: to embrace life fully, to engage in internal contemplation, and to give birth to new forms of expression. It's akin to a struggle, where numerous obstacles must be overcome before a new creation can emerge — a struggle Perez himself articulates. This interview promises to serve as a wellspring of inspiration for creators, actors, and directors alike. Vincent Perez is undeniably a master of his craft. Discover why in this insightful interview.

It's not merely lemonade; its essence is enchanting - to transform the mundane into the extraordinary and infuse everyday life with moments of celebration.   This sweet, effervescent beverage with its distinctive taste and characteristics beckons you to embark on a journey through Georgia's rich heritage and natural wonders. Borjomi Lemonade introduces itself in four delightful flavors: tarragon, pear, Adjarian mandarin, and citrus. Each flavor encapsulates a unique blend of Georgian symbols. Let's explore each one individually: Tarkhun - Georgian cuisine is incomplete without the zesty essence of tarragon. Present in numerous dishes, beverages, and cultural works, tarragon holds a significant place! Borjomi Tarkhuna Lemonade is a distinctive fusion of life-giving water and vegetable juice, serving as a noteworthy representative of Georgia's culinary heritage.   It's a flavor that evokes both nostalgia and revitalization.   Pear - a representation of Georgia's luxuriant orchards and scenic villages.   Borjomi Pear Lemonade is a sweet symphony that harmonizes the effervescent and refreshing notes of mineral water with the luscious sweetness of pears. This sparkling fusion creates a delightful harmony, leaving you with a taste reminiscent of the abundance of Georgia's nature. The Georgian table is incomplete without the presence of tarragon and pear lemonades. In addition to these classic flavors, Borjomi introduces something fresh - Adjarian mandarin and citrus lemonades. Adjarian Mandarin - Borjomi's Adjarian Mandarin Lemonade captures the warmth and energy of the sun in a single bottle.   This aroma will transport you to the sunny slopes of Adjara, filled with radiant energy. Citrus - Borjomi's Citrus Lemonade embodies freshness and vitality.

Heritage of Borjomi - limited packaging

Heritage of Borjomi - limited packaging

As the New Year approaches, everyone engages in special preparations, ensuring a fresh start to face the future. Borjomi, an esteemed member of the New Year's table, is no exception. Like any cherished guest, it deserves special packaging to adorn the beauty of the Georgian table. In response to this festive spirit, Borjomi has unveiled a limited edition New Year's packaging. Behind the vibrant colors and shapes lies a narrative steeped in the history and symbolism of this life-giving water. Every line and dot in the design is intentional, conveying the character, history, and mood of Borjomi. The packaging comprises three main illustrations, forming what we can aptly call the Borjomi Triptych. Chapter One - Depth   This chapter narrates the origin story of Borjomi. Where once the sea existed, the land shifted, volcanoes erupted, and mountains rose. Waters receded and covered the land. However, Borjomi couldn't stay hidden below for long. It unearthed volcanic rocks, collecting over 60 vital minerals along the way, and emerged into the sunlight, bringing life to Earth's inhabitants once again. Chapter Two - Magic   An ancient Georgian prayer to the Great Mother contains the phrase, "Unforgivable in the infinite world and caught in the smallest." The second picture of the triptych seems to illustrate this, depicting a small drop of water holding the magic of the entire world: the sun, mountains, trees, and rivers. Realizing this connection can bring immense joy to an individual. Chapter Three - Deer   The deer emerges as a cult figure of Borjomi, signifying the first-timer. Ancient Georgians believed that deer antlers served as cosmic channels for receiving heavenly signals. The deer symbolized the connection between earth and sky, prevalent in pre-Christian Georgia. In the legend of Borjomi, a deer traced the path leading to its life-giving water.   All three illustrations share a consistent style. Borjomi is often described as a perfect symbiosis of four fundamental elements: volcanic fire, mineral-rich soil, air, and water. The design incorporates all four elements, some strengthening each other, some in conflict, and some neutral. Harmoniously combining these elements requires great skill. Borjomi's special packaging is a masterful work that transforms the act of drinking mineral water into a magical experience befitting the New Year.

Celebrate New Beginnings with Borjomi!

Celebrate New Beginnings with Borjomi!

New Year is a symbol of a new beginning. Georgian mineral water Borjomi in its New Year campaign offers us to go on a magical adventure. The adventure led by Borjomi starts with a “kukushka”, a narrow-gauge train, which carries a symbolic load and brings everyone back to childhood. And the magic path deep in the pine forest is the perfect beginning of a fairytale adventure. This was the motive for the creation of the Borjomi’s New Year clip. According to the script, friends after a New Year's Eve party prepare for a magical adventure by drinking Borjomi. The story ends with the heroes finding themselves in a fairytale world, and the guide in this world is "Borjomi".  Vakhtang Antadze, Global Brand Director of Borjomi: “The New Year is unthinkable without Borjomi, so with our new campaign we wanted to convey a festive mood that would emotionally unite consumers. As a source of inspiration, we used the “Kukushka” which is the symbol of the city Borjomi. In the new communication campaign, we revived childhood memories and nostalgia with the help of a modern narrow-gauge train and created a magical New Year mood with 130-year history brand. In addition to Georgia, the video clip will be distributed in European and Asian countries.”  Keti Tsnobiladze, Brand Manager of Borjomi: “In the new year, together with the limited edition of our products, we offer our customers a New Year video clip that will create an even more festive mood. With this campaign we want to make the holiday even more magical and together with Borjomi take our customers on a journey into a fairytale world.

26th of May - Independence day of Georgia

26th of May - Independence day of Georgia

"The will of the Georgian nation has been fulfilled—long live independent Georgia, may God protect it!"     This moment stands as one of the most thrilling chapters in recent Georgian history. Indeed, on this day, the aspirations of the Georgian nation, anticipated for almost three centuries, have come to fruition. Three centuries devoid of independence, without a sovereign state—yet, on this day, a centuries-old nation is truly born. But before this, we traversed an extensive path—a journey marked by anxiety, struggle, victory, disappointment, and the emergence of heroes. For centuries, attempts were made to extinguish and subjugate Georgia, yet something resilient persisted. It was ingrained in literature, music, folklore, architecture, and traditions—perhaps the reason it could not be eradicated. Every Georgian intuitively senses the existence of this hidden potential. Everyone perceives that there is something here, something inexplicable, worth dedicating, worth dying for—a force driving us to write masterpieces, poems, songs, and fueling the spirit of struggle. We may struggle to articulate it, but one thing is certain: this "something" must be free.     Talent thrives in freedom, revealing its potential amid resistance. This resilience, akin to a flower growing on a rock, remains impervious even to the devils of hell. The entire planet has undergone its evolution; great empires that preyed on small nations like ours have fallen. Now is the time for a seemingly small country with a population of just 3.5 million to influence the path of human development. We've awaited this moment—the realization of Georgia's hidden potential. Georgia is undoubtedly a land of talented individuals. Perhaps the greatest challenge is to maintain individualism while functioning as a single organism—a beautiful bouquet adorned with diverse flowers. Now, Georgia has attained long-awaited independence, and the invisible talent, with a planetary scale, can emerge and rejoice. Our destiny is in our hands. The struggle for independence does not conclude; instead, a new responsibility begins. Freedom is a great responsibility—no longer dependent, everything is within our grasp. Where will we go, what will we build? This responsibility is shared among all citizens, to varying degrees. We must not extinguish the fire passed down by our predecessors. Instead, with our work and efforts, we should ignite it, warming the entire planet. The unique essence of our country can spread like an ointment, illustrated by Borjomi water. Although Georgia's independence was declared on April 9, 1991, May 26, 1918, remains Georgia's birthday. Unfortunately, the independence at that time lasted just three years. Despite its ephemeral existence, those three years were vital for Georgia. They were like the first flower breaking through the frost, signaling that the fetus is alive, awaiting its chance. Winter is necessary; the surface freezes, but the fire in the heart of the earth persists. Life is burning, ready to break out. The new Georgia emerged, like a sapling sprouting from an old, cut oak log—its roots firmly rooted in the past. We proudly present one of the unique fruits of this tree to the entire planet. Borjomi, as an ambassador of Georgia, narrates the country's history to the world. Water, with its memory, holds the essence of independent Georgia. This day is ours—the present, the past, and the future are ours! After a long time, our country is truly ours!
