Young coconut water

It was in a hot, sweaty yoga class that we came across a drink that really quenched our thirst fast. That drink was young coconut water. However, we found the major problem was the availability of fresh, natural coconut water. It was hard to find, too heavy to carry and even harder to break open. We thought there must be better way. It was then and there the idea for H2Coco was born.

In our frustration (or desperation), we began researching what it would take to have ready-to-drink, fresh, coconut water in Australia. But we have high standards. (We don't sweat it out in hot yoga classes for nothing!). We wanted it to stay as pure as possible, taste just like natural thing, retain all its health benefits and stayed fresh for longer without any preservatives. A tall order, but we managed to do it with H2Coco!

Did you know that coconut water needs to be kept out of the sun? That might sound a bit strange but, in fact, coconut water oxidises (loses freshness) when exposed to sunlight. So if coconut water is in a clear container, it may not be as fresh as H2Coco and it certainly will not stay fresh as long. We use Tetra Pak, the only packaging that stabilises and give pure coconut water a shelf life of 12 months. That's one way we keep H2Coco coconut water 100% natural, 100% nutritious and 100% delicious. Our Tetra Pak uses a lot less energy than plastic counterparts, a lot less materials in relation to the product and a lot less natural resources. Pretty good, huh? H2Coco. A natural, fat-free, low-calorie health drink packed with life-giving nutrients. No nasties. No sweat!
