Zico Coconut Water – Natural Review
Alright now boys and girls of the beverage persuasion, here we go with the last Zico Coconut Water review! And just in time too, I was gifted an entire box of drinks perfect for us, and I need to get on those soon. What would be better after a long day working outside in the heat than an uber-hydrating glass of coconut water? Not much, and anything else would distract from this review, so forget about it. This is just what I needed after an afternoon of significant perspiration, and we already know its benefits, but let us see how the ‘natural’ coconut water stacks up against its flavored comrades.
Coconut water has a very peculiar and pleasant scent to it, at once nutty and fresh. The taste has a similar quality, with the nutty flavor coming through well with the water in its natural state. There is something else to flavor I can never quite put my finger on, and for those unfamiliar with coconut water, I’m not sure if I can adequately explain it, you must try it. The sweetness is very light, and as expected, comes naturally from the water itself. The aftertaste I can only describe as similar to having just eaten a handful of almonds, it has a similar nut-like quality. This really makes me miss eating fresh, young coconut at my favorite Thai place, a seasonal delight around these landlocked parts.
Overall, for anyone seeking serious hydration and refreshment, but isn’t too preoccupied with counting calories, this is the perfect way to go. It’s healthy, all natural, and if you recycle the bottle, not a burden on the environment. These are by far superior to any average sports drink or ‘health water’, and taste better than most. Still, if you need to spare the calories, stick with water, you can’t go wrong with H2O.
Score: 4.5 out of 5. A hydration master from nature and better for you, even with the sugar.

**Danithius Review Rebuttal!**
I think Zico has a decent coconut water here. It has the lowest sugar content that I’ve seen in any coconut water so far, so it does win in the health department. But flavor-wise, it feels like it lacks a certain body that I’ve found in others. While snooping around online for coconut waters, I found some Zico customer reviews that were lamenting a recent formula change. I wish I could have tried some of their previous formula to judge for myself! But nitpicking aside, it is still a great hydrating refresher, so I’d probably give it a 4.0
The best way I can describe the taste of Zico coconut water is it tastes like the milk left over in the bowl after eating some frosted flakes or some other kind of cereal. Really good!!!
Unlike Naked brand or O.N.E. or my past favorite Coco Vita (which I loved but that if you get a good container) ANYWAY Socorro is from concentrate the others are not. BIG difference in my book. Its like concentrated OJ instead of fresh squeezed. I wish Vita Coco would get their act together and stay consistent because when it is a “GOOD” bottle it is heaven. And just like sticking a straw in a coconut like they day. Any way this is fir Socorro not vita coco

I meant to say Zico is from concentrate but predictive typing changed it. You don’t want me to review that! !!!!!
Had zinco coconut water for the first time. It tasted just like peroxide. Unfortunately I know how peroxide taste like and they are identical. Has anyone ever had coconut water straight from a coconut? They are nothing a like. Coconut water is very healthy for you but this is not what it taste like. Sorry, I was very disappointed.
