Lee | 2 | 3 | 1 | 1325635200 | Why does O.N.E. have more sugar than Naked brand? | I bought some Naked coconut water from Whole Foods, loved it, and looked to Amazon to buy more. I read the reviews on O.N.E. and ordered a case. First off, I received a case that suspiciously did not have a USDA organic symbol that somehow is on the product image on amazon. Secondly, the product was way sweeter than Naked, which leads me to believe that they somehow add sugar to the product, because there can't be such a variation from one coconut water to another, if both claim to be all natural, blah, blah, blah. To be specific, O.N.E. has 3 more grams of sugar than Naked per 11.2 ounce serving. Because of the sugary taste, it makes the water less crisp and refreshing (and healthy) than Naked. Overall, feeling disenchanted and bamboozled by this purchase. |

I loved this product until I got my most recent batch. There is now a sticker on the box over the old ingredients lable readind "Ingredients: Organic Coconut Water, Organic Cane Sugar" When I drank one I could taste the cane sugar in it.
Since when did they start adding sugar to this and why does it still say pure coconut water on the inside packages and on the product page?
Switching to one that doesn't add extra stuff to my coconut water. |

I like my coconut water room temperature, which none of the manufacturers suggest as the optimal way to enjoy their products. Maybe this review will be useful to others that drink thinks at room temperature. I am comparing each of the four against actual fresh coconut water extracted out of a fresh young coconut, which I've been drinking for years.
Here are my rankings:
1. Vita Coco has the most natural flavor, with no off tastes, and a slightly sweet, nutty flavor.
2 (tie). Zico tastes slightly citrusuy and slighty "green" (like a green banana).
2 (tie). ONE ends on a slightly bitter note.
4. Naked has an off taste that I do not care for at all.
I threw out all of the "Naked" boxes after my taste test. Zico and ONE are drinkable, but both have flavors beyond the pure clean coconutty taste of Vita Coco. I won't through the Zico or ONE out, but I'll drink all the Vita Coco first. |

This product tastes just like fresh without the hard work. Not over sweet or artificial in any way.
Refreshing drink and good cooking substitute for thai recipes etc.
Like it a lot. |

It has a vaguely gelatinous "mouth-feel" to it. I can't say it's any worse than fresh coconut water; I've never had that. But it tastes fresh and was mildly enjoyable when poured over ice. It's just not my thing at all, and as it's a wee bit expensive, it's unlikely I'll try it again. But to its credit, I've got more coconut water-enthusiastic friends who swear by this and maintain it tastes just like its real, on-the-beach equivalent. And it's loaded with potassium goodness. I cannot fault any aspect of this product - it's just not my thing. |

A friend introduced me to coconut water. For maybe 20 cents you'd get a green coconut with the top lopped off and a straw placed in the center so you could drink the delicious and refreshing coconut water.
The people at O.N.E. Have put that same drink in an 11 oz. aseptic drink box. It amazed me how it tastes just the same!
It's delicious, fat free and a natural source of electrolytes. Yum! |

Most other electrolyte drinks are full of sugar and artificial ingredients. [sugar fuels cancer] This drink was absolutely perfect for him because it is an organic electrolyte and is one of the few things he can stomach.
My sister is a nurse and has been recommending this drink to her patients who start low carb diets. When they start the diet, they initially lose the excess water, which can affect potassium levels for the first week. This drink has loads of potassium and eliminates the problem for them. This is some good stuff!! |

I have already had two packages to drink and I find it tasty and refreshing. I recycle the carton packages so I can confirm there was no mold. The item is marked as "gently pasteurized." I think it's also somewhat sweeter than VitaCoco which I've used in the past. Even so, the two are easily comparable. I happen to prefer the smaller packages because that's the amount I drink daily and I hate to keep the pacakge open since the water often goes bad. |

I thought this would be a great idea because it's less expensive and more convenient than buying a young coconut and draining the water out. It is both of these, but it does not have the same flavor as fresh coconut water. I guess that's a no brainer. I can't even bring myself to finish the drink. It's gross. |

Back in the states, I used to buy coconuts from asian food stores and hack them open, but ONE is the closest I've found to the natural fresh coconut water taste (I've tried over 10 other brands) w/out the inconvenience of breaking out the cleaver. It is absolutely refreshing without the excessive sweetness of some brands like Amy and Brian or Taste Nirvana. There's also no sour aftertaste like w/ vitacoco (which adds ascorbic acid as a preservative). It's a bit odd that A&B and TN source their coconuts from Thailand and ONE from Brazil. ONE tastes much closer to the fresh stuff that I had in SE asia than any other brand I've tried. Superb overall. |

We figured we'd be getting the same product, just in a smaller quantity. Not the case. These smaller sized containers really just do not taste as good. We drank them, but didn't enjoy them. We will not buy this product again in this serving size. The liter size just tastes way fresher and sweeter. These, not so much. |

Coconut Water: The most natural, best tasting coconut water | O.N.E. is the best tasting, most natural coconut water product on the market, period. I have tried all the competitors and they simply do not stack up.
Zico, while the most price efficient, is garbage as they sacrifice quality of their formula by mass producing it from concentrate in an attempt to cut costs.
Vita Coco, while better than Zico, seems to focus more on mass marketing and endorsing their product than on producing the most natural and delicious formula. Vita Coco is much like the Patron of coconut water. Similar to Patron, Vita Coco is a solid product marketed and endorsed heavily to the masses, but true connoisseurs of the drink know that it is not the best.
O.N.E. coconut water is the best. The company's focus is on their product, improving their product, and making sure that their drink is the most natural, most organic product on the market; not on cost efficiency or creating a false image through mass marketing. |
