The Llanllyr (pronounced "Clan-Clear") estate is a pristine and magical place, nestled in the ancient glacial valleys of West Wales in the United Kingdom, where the Gee family have farmed the land sustainably and organically for over 300 years. Rainfall is abundant and the lush landscape of both fertile fields and award-winning gardens embodies the richness of the soil and the purity of the water. Patrick Gee founded Llanllyr SOURCE in 1999 having grown up on the estate and learned about its abundant history from ancient documents dating back to 1180 A.D. when the land was first settled, and the purity of the water was documented. The journey since then has been as spectacular as the water itself, with Llanllyr SOURCE being served in many of the leading hotels and restaurants around the world and endorsed by world renown and leading Michelin chefs. Connoisseurs of quality immediately identify the exceptionally low minerality of the water, which gives it a soft, velvety, and tasteless quality, ideal for pairing with fine wines and exceptional food. The purity of the water allows for gentle carbonation and tight effervescence. SOURCE has often been described as the "Champagne of Waters" and is the perfect complement to any dining experience. The company has won a multitude of awards and accolades over the years, including Best Tasting British Water and in 2008 received the Queens Award for Enterprise, personally presented to Patrick Gee by Her Majesty the Queen. Not only is the purity of the product at the heart of the Company, so is its approach to the management of the land, the environment and the community. Even with the abundance of water in Wales, this precious resource is continuously managed on a sustainable basis and every care is taken to protect the environment. The UK's Soil Association certifies the organic land each year and the company has received the highest level of the Welsh Government's environmental accreditation, Green Dragon, for the past several years. Llanllyr Water Company utilizes as much recyclable materials as possible, has invested in solar power and has a carbon neutral footprint, one of very few water companies to achieve this impressive status. The company likewise supports a multitude of charities engaged in improving water management and accessibility to underprivileged communities at a local and international level.
