About the Brand
The Zico team comes from five countries and careers in design, health, marketing, engineering, and beverages. They all grew up, or grew into, loving coconut water, and this shared passion gave life to Zico. Their headquarters is located in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, but they love to escape to their office in El Salvador or their plantation in Brazil. In their own words: "At Zico, we believe in balance. We believe business objectives mean more with personal values and that diverse perspectives, debate, laughter, and respect lead to great insights and greater heights." Zico supports the sustainable use of natural resources where Zico is produced and gives back 5% of its profits to these communities.

Customer Reviews

Delicious!
This is the best way to get coconut water unless you have direct access to fresh, green coconuts. Tastes great. I prefer to use a straw to drink from the box. There's no jelly included, only the liquid coconut water. They are not cheap, but I buy from Amazon since our grocery stores don't sell coconut water. Some people don't like the taste of coconut water, but this brand is great if you do.

Reminds me of Thailand
When I visted Thailand, a woman offered me a coconut. I nodded and she whacked it open with a machete with all the precision of a samuari, stuck a straw in it and handed it to me. It was decidedly different and unlike any other coconut product I had before. I enjoyed several of these while I was there, and some European tourists asked how was it as we floated by in the canal at the Rose Market. I gave them the thumbs up, but for people used to the ultra sweet and syrupy soda pop drinks and juice sweetened with high frutose corn syrup, they'll likely find the taste vile. It's very light and refreshing and if your taste buds aren't conditioned by overly sweet drinks, you'll probably enjoy this.

I gave it 4 stars because the contents say the coconuts are from Brazil and I found the ones I had in Thailand a bit more tasty.

Very acquired taste...
I would strongly recommend tasting one of these before order a 12-pack, as this is a very acquired taste. I bought one pack at the local health food store as a trial, and it was one of the most horrible tastes I can remember in recent memory. So just don't go blindly ordering this or you may be sorry.
