Coco Joy Coconut Water Can, 8.3 Ounce (Pack of 12)

So though I've always been a fan of coconut and coconut water in general, I've always just picked up a random brand from a convenience or grocery store in singles to drink at the moment, I've never actually purchased an amount to take home and store in the fridge. I decided it was time to change this ha. After reading so many mixed reviews, I pretty much decided to just order the top rated ones and make my own choice, so I ordered:Vita Coco Coconut Water, 11.1 oz. (Count of 12)Cocozia 100% Organic Coconut Water 16.9 Oz (Pack of 12)Coco Joy Coconut Water Can, 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 12)Cocozia Chocolate Coconut Water, Organic, 16.9 Ounce (Pack of 12)Coco Joy Banana Coconut Water White Baymax Red Background, 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 6)So starting with just the unflavored coconut waters, Coco Joy won out instantly for me, hands down, no competition, despite being a bit more expensive and coming in a smaller quantity, the taste just blows the other two out of the water. I found the Vita Coco and Cocozia I received both looked almost identical when poured in a cup, both with a slight yellow tint, and cloudy enough that I couldn't see the bottom of the cup, neither had a distinct smell, and both tasted nearly identical, which was to say...not very good.Unlike the Coco Joy, which I found to have a very strong coconut flavor both initially and as an aftertaste, with the perfect amount of sweetness, the Vita Coco and Cocozia were both kind of offputting, neither tasted very strongly of coconut, both were very bland, hardly any sweetness, and both were just kind of bitter; neither were unpalatable, but they certainly weren't pleasant to drink.I should have prefaced with the fact that I have never actually had coconut water from an actual coconut, so I have no idea what a fresh real coconut freshly opened tastes like. I tried the coconut water in the order of Vita Coco > Cocozia > Coco Joy. When I tried the first two, I didn't judge them too harshly, I figured, hey, its water from a coconut, its probably not supposed to be terribly sweet or have really strong coconut flavor, that probably only happens with added ingredients and processing, its good for you, its supposed to be bland and kinda reminiscent of dirty water, or old socks! BUT, then I tried the Coco Joy and it was completely the opposite, it tasted great, I wouldn't simply suffer through it for the healthy attributes, I would actually rather drink this than a flavored water or soda, its delicious and refreshing!I haven't really looked into it, but all the reviews I read said each of the three are supposed to be pure coconut water, without any additives - if that is in fact the case, Coco Joy is definitely the way to go, if its just as healthy as the other brands, then its just...WINS, hands down, its a pleasure to drink!If I'm about to discover that its somehow not as healthy as the other brands...I'd still replace soda and other sugary drinks with it! \Bottom line, unless other brands, in fact, have more or less of something that makes them healthier, and thus worth kind of suffering through, coco joy should be your new go to for coconut water!

It tastes like you are drinking water from a fresh coconut! It is worth the price! Love it!

Taste different than any other coconut drink I have tasted and I have tasted many. Tastes almost flowery is the best I can described it. Taste like a hint of than coconut milk with fresh coconut water is how I would describe it. Very fragrant indeed. Either you love it or hate it. At first it was kinda off putting as it wasn't the norm I was used to then I kinda develop a taste for it and began to like it more. Still not totally use to it maybe if I drank more of it. However for the size and amount you get it is pretty pricey like most coconut drinks are. So I can only enjoy this occasional at most due to cost.I wish thy made bigger sizes to save on cost. I still like prefer the taste of C20 and Taste Nirvana better as they're two of my favorite coconut water out there that I've tasted.

I have had real fresh coconut water all my life, so I wanted to give this canned alternative a try as the reviews were amazing and it was promised to be "Pure". All I can say is it tasted purely awful. I put it out during a party and not a single guest could take more than a sip. I don't know if I got a bad batch but I wanted to raise a red flag in case you totally depend on reviews.

I am seriously surprised at how great it tastes! So much better than every other coconut water I've tried.. And I have tried many. No chalkiness, no bitterness, no nutty aftertaste. Just perfectly sweet, pure coconut flavor. I'll be a life-long customer 😀

This little can packs a big punch on taste. As a matter of fact from what I know about coconut water, and I drank plenty of the real coconut on the Island, it never had a strong taste, just a hint like brackish water if you all know what that is. I was quite leary in purchasing this item because I have never seen or heard of this brand. I decided whats the worse can happen, I don't like it and I just won't buy it again, but fortunately, it was the opposite. I will list the pluses:1. It really tastes like cocunut water, warm or cold, and not overwhelming just like the cocunut water I previously enjoyed.2. The can is only 8 ounces with 7g carbs, that's pretty low and it equates to one serving.3. Ahhh! it really quenches your thirst; and4. The price is quite reasonable.Highly recommended. Love it and will buy it again and again.

I'm all about coconut water and glad that stores have begun stocking a few brands. I'm disappointed in the fluctuation of price since who can afford $3 for one container?Enter Coco Joy: a price I can invest in to try the brand, an 8 ounce size that makes me hesitate, a can instead of the Tetra packaging most use.Verdict: It's entered my top three coconut water brands. Just like Harvest Bay also in the tier of distinction they share a smaller ounce size as if they know how golden their product is and it must be containerized appropriately.The can keeps the flavor consistent. It isn't overwhelming in intensity nor bland and "green". It starts fresh on the pallete and ends with zero aftertaste.My new problem is that I want a case of Coco Joy every week! As I write this I only have ONE left from the order. :)

made mistake ordering a pack. I realized I do not like coconut water.
