Zola100% Pure Coconut Water, 17.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

very refreshing & mild tasting - will always buy

I was not a fan of coconut water at all until this Summer when, while visiting a friend, I decided to give it another try. Luckily, I chose Zola to reintroduce myself to coconut water. After a few hours in the fridge, I took a sip and fell in love. (But it's also quite good at room temp!) I emphasize that it was lucky I tried Zola first because none of the 5 or 6 (many of which are more popular) brands I have tried since even come close to how good Zola coconut water is. My parents are big on coconut water, and they agree. We also adore them for resisting the urge to add sugar or preservatives like all the other brands.The price is also amazing! At 17.5 oz cans in a pack of 12, getting it on Amazon comes to just under $2 a can, which is MUCH Cheaper (by volume) than most of the 8-10 oz cans or boxes you find in the store. Since they don't sell Zola in the stores near where I live, the past 4 months have been a quest for comparable coconut water. So far, I have come up empty, so thanks, Amazon for Super Saver Shipping! It's the only way I can continue to get the Best coconut water!

Great tasting, light, 100% Coconut water. The best flavor of all I have tried. Other products have started adding preservatives and the taste has been off. I practice and or teach Bikram Yoga daily, so I need a good natural rehydrating fluid. Zola is the best. Because this product is leaps and bounds better than other coconut waters and more cost efficient, our local Bikram studio has changed to this brand from a more popular brand. I originally purchased Zola coconut water in Denver, CO. So far, I have not seen it available in Georgia stores. I go through a lot of this coconut water, so I am on an auto shipment of 2 cases a month for my personal use.

Every single can was dented. NOT on the outside of the box they are packed in as though it had been dropped and some with more than one dent. By this I mean on opposite sides of the can. Pictures are of one can. It doesn't look like the seams were affected.

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.

When I received package and opened it, at least half of the cans were badly dented even tho the box it was shipped in was not. I refridgerated the drinks for a gathering we were having. I have not had this brand of coconut water before, guess I should have bought a brand I was familiar with as all but one person said it had an almost sour taste to it. The one person had never had coconut water before so he didn't know the difference. I was very disappointed in this brand, especially at the price per case.I don't know if I just got a bad batch or what but I would not recommend this item to anyone.

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.

good product. makes it so simple to have it delivered to your door.
