My mission at LifeSpices, when I started in 2005 was to find interesting and unique products that “add a little spice in our life” while doing good in some way… hence “world products made with love.” The Stefani Water Purifier is a product I discovered a few years ago in Africa.

I was charmed by the style and knowing the beneficial properties of clay I thought it was a clever design with a little tap and so on. I was really intrigued when I learned that this clay water vessel, well known to ancient civilizations and still in use in most 3rd world nations for its cooling detoxification properties is equipped with a very advanced ceramic filter. And so the search began… to learn more about the purifying elements of ceramic filters and learning about the manufacturer and their business philosophy.

For product details, please see our site www.stefaniaqua.com. The product was created by the Stefani brothers who are all engineers by profession. The water chambers are hand made by skilled potters and the company is actively involved in various local community programs which include:

* Reforestation program
* Food program for 180 factory employees and their families
* Subsidized fitness and recreational programs for employees
* Member of Potters Association of Sao Paolo
* Founding member of the Water Quality Association of US

That’s all well and good in writing but does the company walk the talk? … I think so. I visited their plant in Jaboticabal in the state of Sao Paolo.
