| # | Product | Overall | In short |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Harmless Harvest — Organic Coconut Water | 8.1 | Harmless Harvest's classic unpasteurized Thai coconut water. Crisp, punchy, and floral with no aftertaste. Industry-leading ethics. |
| 2 | Kirkland Signature — Organic Coconut Water | 7.9 | Costco's Kirkland Signature organic coconut water. Unpasteurized Thai coconut, fruity and bright, very refreshing. Likely related to the TJ's and Sprouts organic offerings. |
| 3 | Sprouts — Organic Coconut Water | 7.8 | Sprouts Farmers Market organic coconut water. Young Thai coconut, unpasteurized, USDA Organic. Likely shares a source with Trader Joe's Organic — they taste identical. |
| 4 | Trader Joe's — Organic Coconut Water | 7.8 | Young Thai coconut water, unpasteurized, USDA Organic. Perfectly balanced between floral and sweet. |
| 5 | Harmless Harvest — Organic Sparkling | 7.4 | The OG pink water, carbonated. Industry-leading ethics, unpasteurized, but the floral flavor doesn't quite work with bubbles. |
| 6 | Zico Pure — Organic Coconut Water | 6.9 | Zico's answer to Harmless Harvest. Organic unpasteurized Nam Hom water from Thailand. Better than boxed Zico but a bit too sweet and lacking earthy depth. |
