 I've been looking for good coconut water since I've been back from Costa Rica. So far, the brands I've tried have sucked! They tasted like coconut. They did not taste like the delicious water directly from fresh Costa Rican coconuts. I needed my pipa fria!

I can now report that this Trader Joe's brand tastes and smells exactly like the pipa fria from Playa Hermosa in Uvita. It's amazing. Costs are roughly the same. In Costa Rica, one coconut at the beach would be 1000 colones. Here, this is $1.69. This has more liquid though. That's a good deal. πŸ€™πŸ»

 Perhaps. I don't like coconut flavor overly that much.

 Have you tried the harmless harvest brand? Pretty good!

 I haven't. I've only tried a few from my local grocery stores.

 My kids said it tastes like the real thing too. They love it. Now I just need a reusable coconut shell to give them the same experience again πŸ˜‚ 
 REAL TALK: I hated it … but I have a doll one ☝️ 🀣

 Big fan of the Kirkland Signature organic coconut water at Costco, it’s pink and needs to be refrigerated. Tastes just like Harmless Harvest, but cheaper.
