The hot spring with drinking water in the mineral water park in Borjomi, Georgia. Borjomi is famous for its mineral waters.

The Borjomi springs were discovered by the Imperial Russian military in the 1820s. They were made famous throughout the Russian Empire, making Borjomi a popular tourist destination.

 

By the 1890s, Borjomi was bottled in the Georgian estates of Grand Duke Mikhail of Russia. After the Russian Revolution of 1917 and subsequent Soviet takeover of Georgia, the Borjomi enterprise was nationalized and the water was made into a top Soviet export.

Borjomi is exported to over 40 countries. The use of Borjomi water has been suggested by researchers for complex treatment of several digestive diseases and diabetes mellitus.
