The only thing better than this coconut water, is getting your own coconut, cracking it open and drinking the water right then and there. This product is really superior (I am a caribbean girl ... trust me, I know these things). There is no weird chemical or sour aftertaste. The water is fresh and delicious. No sugar or additives. I am so glad I found this product. Great for working out, shakes, etc. Would buy (and will buy! :-)) Again! :-)
