I do not necessarily love the taste of this product & I have never before had coconut water....I recently read the Body Ecology Diet book & wanted to try the coconut water kefir.  I bought young green coconuts, but they were all rotten (my lack of purchasing experience..) & decided it was just about as economical & far less hassle to buy the coconut water.  After reading lots of reviews, I chose Zico.
I then kefired the coconut water using the probiotics from BE & using that method..(one pkt of kefir starter to approx 1 qt coconut water, in a wide mouth Ball jar w/lid, sitting in my cupboard 3-4 days, then refrigerated & used within 1 wk.).
When I drink it, I drink approx 8 oz w/a packet of Sweetleaf stevia or 2 & a little pomegrante juice & although I am not in love w/the taste, I do find it gives me lots of energy all day & I actually crave it the morning.
As a stay at home homeschooling mom, I love the energy boost & general good feeling I get from it.
I will purchase it again & again, happily.

to update-the 2nd time I kefired the coconut water, I used 1 pkt of kefir starter & 1 of Essential duo, both from Body Ecology & 2 qts (approx) of the water & let it ferment for slightly less time & it ACTUALLY TASTES GOOD by itself, cold from the refrigerator.  ( I am still fermenting it in my cupboard, then refrigerating as above..). The pleasing taste is a welcome change of events!!
