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. 🤙🏻
