100% Pure Coconut Water, 17.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

I've spent hours in the last few months searching for coconut water with good credentials. Specifically, one that was, "not from concentrate." However, just about every brand that people, "brag about," (particularly on Amazon where many seem to push specific brands... one above others, to the point they seem like paid reviews or advertisements) are all from concentrate. I had pretty much given up and was willing to settle for what was available, when I stumbled across this can (literally right after buying 2 large cartons of another brand at another store). Funny thing was I found this after leaving my local TJ's to grab some extra items at the Safest of Ways. I stumbled across a can of this and nearly skipped it over chalking up the typical image of a coconut, claims of awesome taste, and the fact that I'd read bad things about coconut water in a can. I did a double take when I saw an easily skipped over statement of, "not from concentrate," after I had already put it back on the shelf, and decided to pony up and give it a try head to head with what I had already bought. Frankly, I loved it, the other brands were moot points to me then and there, and I immediately started searching for a cheaper way to get it when I got home (which was easy as their website pointed me right back to Amazon) but it wasn't in stock! I ordered anyway, but I'm still waiting for my order to ship. I have had 5 or 6 cans at the $3 price from the store so far because I couldn't wait (and that's all they had left in stock, who knows if they will restock or if things will change). I will remain loyal as long as the product stays the same. If my order shows up and things have changed, I will update my review. Mind you, this review is ONLY FOR THE CAN, as I think the larger carton is listed as, "from concentrate," like every other brand. The carton was also noticeably missing the, "best tasting," badge prominently placed on the can.

I absolutely LOVE this stuff! The fact it's so refreshing is good enough for me, but knowing that coconut water offers so many health benefits too (I hate bananas with a vengeance, so the high potassium content is a real bonus) is just icing on the cake. I would say, though, that it's much better served well-chilled, but watch out for a mild attack of brain freeze. Must go - I need another can of Zola! :-) UPDATE AS AT 8 SEPTEMBER 2019: While I still love the taste of this drink, all of the bits that are now present in every can are very off-putting which is why it's important to strain the contents before drinking. - something I never used to have to do. The photo shows what came out of just one can. This product never used to be like that before they revamped it, and I'm not sure why it is necessary to have those bits in now.

I tried a few different coconut water products. Some have fancier packaging, and better ergonomic design. But I did the math and this is the best bang for your buck. This also "tastes" more concentrated where I actually cut it 50/50 with water. So I, in essence, am getting twice the product for the money. I'ts a great way to hydrate in the morning and claims to have more potassium than a banana. Update: I received the second order of this product. I am lowering to 4 stars due to the packaging. Both came poorly packaged and had dented cans.

i normally drink the sugar free red bulls or monster rehabs, but love these so much more. There's only a little bit of sugar in them, 75 calories per can, loads of potassium from the coconut water, and they simply taste amazing. I was buying these from the store, but like them so much that I set up a subscription for a regular delivery through Amazon. Just like with all energy drinks, don't have more than one unless you want a racing heart. this does have two shots of espresso in it folks so if you need more than that its time to work on better sleeping habits ;)

I am not rating the product low, it is the packaging of the product that needs to be improved. My first order, the cans were severly dented. I returned it and suggested they pack it better to protect it during shipping. My second order was more dented than the first. Because Amazon.Com understands Customer Satisfaction. My money was returned for both orders. I am disappointed that they don't do a better job packaging the product. I can not purchase it in my area, but unfortunately will not order online.

Refreshing, rehydrating, and tasty. Doesn't hurt that the price is right. Just the thing after a hot afternoon gardening, or even as a nice thing to drink "just because". Better flavor than all the other brands - we've tried so many, from Amy & Brian to Zico, and a bunch in between. So sweet you'd swear they add a pinch of sugar, but the label says no. Got it on subscribe and save - and hope to keep this subscription for life.

Zola is hands down the best tasting coconut water out there, but it's really hard for me to find. So when I saw Amazon carried it, I ordered it right away. I noticed a few customers complained that their shipments arrived with most of the aluminum cans dented. I took the chance anyway. Sure enough, I believe all but 2 or 3 of the cans in the package were HORRIBLY dented all over. This is a huge cause for concern as it can lead to botulism. This is the same reason I check aluminum soup, vegetable, fruit etc. cans for dents before purchasing in a grocery store. If you think that sounds silly, look it up for yourself. I love this coconut water, but unfortunately, the high risk of contracting a food born illness from these cans that just can't hold up over shipping (AMAZON - PLEEEEEEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! I KNOW YOU CAN FIGURE OUT A MORE SECURE WAY TO PACKAGE THEM!!!!) just isn't worth it. Back to hunting for the elusive cartons in the stores. If anyone knows where to find them in the LA area, let me know.
