My friend Sara and I drank 9 different coconut water products we have a winner!
I bought every coconut water I could get my hands on and the list below is the contenders.
We rated them all between 1-10. 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
In the blind taste test:
- #1 Vita Coco (rated a 7)

So the top winners of taste go to:

- 2nd place, The real coconut: Costs $2.99 and I’m not sure where it came from but it was delicious.
