I have tried every brand offered in my local store, and this one has beat them all in taste, and even price! There is no odd aftertaste, no chunks of coconut and it is not too sweet and is a good size. |

I tried CocoVia and had to force myself to finish it. If it's labeled at coconut water, then it should taste like it came from a fresh coconut...this does, just like I remember from my childhood days. |

I first learned this ethereal term in high school when reading Greek fiction. It is the term used to describe the drink of the gods, but the description stops there. Often I wondered what It might taste like for it to be so popular amongst deities. Does it just taste great? Is that all a god is looking for in their beverage? Or is it invigorating? I supposed it would have to be, after all, reigning over the realm of mortals and hurling thunderbolts must wear a guy/gal out. Would it need to be healthy and nourishing?The gods ARE Immortal, but that doesn't mean they can't get sick of overweight, just look at Dionysus for instance.
I would ponder the potential attributes of such a drink for days, wonder what powerful, maybe magical, properties it would need to have to satisfy such a lofty audience. Then, one day long after I had given up my quest, I got my answer.
As I was perusing the vast inventory of our local whole foods grocery store, I stumped upon something called C2o, the very product I am reviewing today. My thought process was "I love coconut, why not coconut water" after all that reasoning had served me fairly well with other such substances (Lemonade, apple juice, ect....). My first taste was absolute shock, the drink was cold and smooth, it had a viscosity to it slightly greater than water, and a flavor that was mild yet distinct. Then the can was empty. I was distraught, so I turned back to the store to purchase another. The beverage has a subtle sweetness about it which is pleasant and not at all overpowering. It is as refreshing as a cold glass of water but with all the benefits of an one of those highly touted sports drinks. I was in hydration heaven...
As I let the second can rattle to the floor, feeling a bit like a alcoholic, I realized I finally had my answer. THIS was ambrosia, this was what I had been trying to describe all those years ago. I needed more, but at 3.00$ a can I was looking at taking quite a hit in my wallet to feed this new addiction. So I turned to amazon and got a affordable solution. The cans were pretty banged up upon delivery but the C2o tasted none the worse for it. I plan on buying much more of this product as the year goes on. |

C2O is far the best (I've tried many brands). I don't rate five (5) stars because most of the cans were dented. I guess Amazon should indicate FRAGILE outside the box. |

It took no time to develop a taste for it, rather it was good from the first sip of the first can. I haven't tried many coconut waters, I have tried one other kind called Vita Coco which I was able to buy at Wal-Mart. That tasted like dishwater and I really couldn't finish it. This was the second kind I tried, and if C2O is the best available on the market, then I'm ok with that because it is excellent without being overpowering. Only problem here is that amazon is really the only place I can buy this C2O due to location, but the price is outrageous now. I first bought it for $23.99 with free shipping due to being a prime member, the very next week I look into buying more and the price was $29.00 plus $13.00 shipping which is unacceptable for me. I will try some others now, and hopefully amazon can start keeping this in stock and quit outsourcing it to outside sellers. |

So, if you've never tried the Thai coconut water, I would encourage you to go out to the local grocery and buy a can. 17.5 oz cans of the Thai varieties average about two bucks in my local grocery. C2o tastes like the fraternal twin of Amy & Brian Natural Coconut Juice Pulp Free, 17.5 Ounce Tins (Pack of 12). They are way less acidic (to me Brazilian coconut water has a prickly bite like pineapple) and sweeter tasting that the Brazilian coconut waters. Those who watch carbs will note that C2o has 26 per 17.5 oz can and A&B has 32 carbs. This is a more than the Brazilian ones, but I think the taste is worth it. I usually only drink them if I feel dehydrated, while working out, or when I feel exhausted and need energy. I sometimes work four 12-hour night shifts in a row and sleep away my next day off and wake up feeling dead tired and bone dry and the first thing I reach for is coconut water. I've been buying from the local Kroger for years, but they always only have four or so cans at a time and they are usually VERY dented. I've ordered A&B online and they still come dented. So do these C2o cans, though not as badly as the A&B. I usually don't buy dented cans, but these haven't killed me yet. |

The after taste reminds me of peroxide or baking soda when I had a sore throat. Does that mean it's old, or is it suppose to have that bland flavor? It's not terrible, it's just not something I'd choose to quench my thirst. Hopefully the nutritional quality is there, and in that case, I'd be content. |

Im guessing its the way they need to heat the coconut water in order to fill it in cans. I gave it two stars because it does taste like coconut albeit a very sweet version. For the same price, I prefer a tetra pak brand like vita coco which has less sweet taste + nutritional components like potassium, magnesium. |
