We get our coconuts when they are still green and young. Coconut water exists to feed the coconut during its growth phase - that's why it is packed with nutrients. A coconuts water's natural sweetness peaks at about 6 months and after that, all that taste has migrated into the flesh.

The same reason why orange juice tastes different compared to freshly squeezed orange. The coconut water goes through a sterilisation process. See more about this below. The process is very simple and it means that instead of lasting 3 days the water is good for a year.

There certainly is - a big difference. Coconut water is the clear, electrolyte rich liquid from inside young coconuts and contains no fat or no cholesterol.

On the other hand coconut milk, is produced from grating the “meat” of older, brown coconuts: a white, rich liquid containing oils and fat.

Coconut waters from different parts of the world have variations in taste and colour. Please note that taste and colour may vary. This is completely normal and part of the ‘naturalness’. It is not uncommon for the colour to shift from a milky white to a yellowish hue. This is due to variations in temperature, UV exposure and naturally occurring processes in the water. The only way to ensure 'exact' unchanging colour and taste is by using additives...which we don't want to do.

All coconut plantations are basically organic, however, all farms are not certified organic. We source our coconuts from many small farms in Southern Vietnam. Currently it would be very tricky for these small farms to get certified organic. Some big commercial farms in other areas in SE Asia are certified but we prefer supporting the little guys.

Our cans are aluminium and also endlessly recyclable. And yes - certified BPA free.

Yes. We extract the coconut water then filter and fill and finally expose the filled product to heat, this is to ensure no bacteria remains. This gives CoAqua a shelf life of 12 months and doesn’t affect the minerals and re-hydration qualities. Coconut water can be very dangerous when raw, and the only way to ensure there are no nasties in the water when selling 'raw' is to pressurise the product in plastic - and adding more plastics to the world is simply a bummer.

If you open a CoAqua and don’t finish drinking it, put it in the fridge and drink it within 72 hours.

We know people enjoy drinking CoAqua but like everything else, you can always have too much of a good thing. Typically, we suggest no more than two to three servings of coconut water per day.

It’s true, our coconut water is totally gluten and fat free.

Like any other food there is a chance that you could be allergic. If you find that you are, talking to your doctor or health professional is likely the smartest thing to do.
