VITA Coco Pure Coconut Water 1ltr (Pack of 4)

What can I say, I am a coconut water addict. It took me a while to enjoy it as I expected a coconut milk type of taste, what I didn't realise was that coconut milk is made from the cocoNUT itself ground to a pulp. It is delicious but fattening, coconut water is found in the middle of the coconut itself. I enjoyed many a coconut in India - great for hydrating. It tastes sweet but watery at the same time, but I enjoyed knowing that I was doing my body good and 1 serving has more potassium than 2 bananas! Plus Rihanna advertises this stuff, so if it's good enough for her...Also - I will 100% be buying my coconut water fix from Amazon in the future as it is sooooo hard to find in local supermarkets, I think the only one within a 30 mile radius that sells it near me is Waitrose and we all know how expensive they are.Take my advice and drink this, take up yoga, become vegetarian (or vegan even better) and trust me you will be looking and feeling AMAZINGGGGGGGGG!!! :)

Thought I would try a pack of 4. It came very quickly (two days) which is excellent with free postage, and a very good price. I see it is product of the Philippines and the cartons are Tetra Pak with screw cap, but the juice tastes just as good as the stuff in square type cartons we see in UK supermarkets. Best before date is 09/15.EDIT 16 Sept 2015: I bought more of this product at the same price (and free postage). Using a 4 for 3 deal it cost me £30 for 16 cartons - best price yet. Delivered the very next day. This time the country of origin is Brazil so will see what it tastes like.EDIT 29 Feb 2016: I bought another 8 packs for £20, i.e. £2.50 each. Four days standard (free) delivery. This time they are marked 'Made in Sri Lanka' and also 'Born in Brazil' whatever that means. Good value and tastes fine.

I have previously bought this Coconut water at my local Sainsburies for the price £3.50 per carton and I am quite certain it was less than a litre that I bought - so ordering this quantity saves money! *gold stars* already :)I also love the taste; slight coconut flavour but mostly sweet and watery, and I feel very energetic and excited about drinking this due to the taste and health benefits. I've only had my order for two days and only have two cartons left, I'm going to be ordering more for sure! I don't drink enough normal water and drinking this helps me to remember to keep drinking fluids as I do tend to forget!The only fault I can say is I wish the ingredients were just coconut water alone, as this has 'less than 1% fruit sugar and Vitamin C' with it - nothing really but I do want to just drink coconut water pure and untouched.Definitely recommend anyway! :)

After reading the reviews I thought I would give it a try. However, I nearly heaved when I first started to drink it. I really don't like the taste. I am trying to persevere with it, but its hard work. I bought 4 liters of it, so its going to be tough getting through it. I don't think I'm drinking it at a fast enough rate to notice whether it has improved my skin or not.It states on the packaging that "its like drinking through a straw straight from the coconut"......it tastes nothing like the coconut milk that I have drank out of fresh coconuts.Now when I drink it, I drink a smoothie straightaway afterwards to take away the taste.I have tried mixing it with other things, but hasnt worked for me either.I'm sure if you like the taste, then this would be a great product to buy.The packaging was really good.Its use-by date is 8 months from now.

For me it is between the Vita Coco and Tropical Sun brands for best taste. I find the Tropical Sun taste different from the others and i like it that much more but i also like the Vita Coco which is less sweet and has a different flavour. Tropical Sun is more expensive and they dont do it in cartons yet which is lame! But be warned that the Vita Coco 1 liter cartons are always leeking. I have a monthly standing order with Amazon and often i have to get a new order sent out due to leeking cartons on arrival. Seems they have not heard of Tera-Pak in Brazil.I personally stock both brands at home. We do alot of running and Jui Jitsu so these Coconut waters really are a great alternative to sport drinks which can be filled with crazy amounts of sugar. If you are into sports (cardio stuff) then go with the Vita Coco every time. x4 Litres of Vita Coco and a 12pack of the Tropical Sun per month. Job done. Try for your self guys. Enjoy

When you read 'coconut water' you think two things. Coconut. Water. This product is neither. It's a rancid yellow liquid that doesn't even move like water. The taste is hard to describe. Coconut? Not even vaguely. It's sweet and bitter at the same time. I was determined to try it despite the look and smell because it cost so much. I bought the 4 liters. I have tried diluting it and using juice to hide the flavour. As coconut water from a fresh coconut is one of my favourite things, the disappointment is staggering.The advertising is misleading. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS 1% FRUIT SYRUP. I assume this is what gives it the awful smell, look and flavour. It also contains Vitamin C. But as the fruit syrup has obliterated everything I wanted from this product it may as well be 100% fruit syrup -- because you can't tell there's anything resembling a coconut in this drink.I don't normally write reviews but this time I felt I absolutely had to. BE WARNED. I read a couple of the 1 star reviews before I bought this and thought - it can't be like that. It's got lots of 5 star points. Yet it is exactly as I've described. If you enjoy drinks that look like stale sweat or weak urine, with the most rancid of flavours - stack it in your basket.On a separate note, the company that sold it was very efficient. This star rating is based solely on the product and not the company.
