Tía Still Mineral Water

Tía Mineral Water is a private label product belonging to Almacenes Tía S.A., one of the largest retail chains in South America. The brand originated in Ecuador, where it serves a massive portion of the domestic market through its extensive network of supermarkets. The product shown is a 5-liter bottle of still natural mineral water, manufactured and bottled within Ecuador to supply the local demand.

The history of Tía (Tiendas Industriales Asociadas) dates back to founders who moved from Europe to South America, establishing the brand in Colombia and Ecuador. Today, the ultimate ownership of the Ecuadorian operations remains with Almacenes Tía S.A., which is controlled by the De Narváez and Kerdel families. The company focuses on accessibility and local production, ensuring that its house brand products like this mineral water are sourced and produced in-country to maintain competitive pricing.
