After months I staying in California I realize many californians are coconut water/juice addict, most of mike's friends drink that everyday and for sure you will find easy in any market in California. Mike and I, well especially me love to shop in Asian market since you know I am Indonesian where I can find any kind of Indo food easily and for sure coconut water too plus according to mike philosophy it's cheaper compare to regular market, and it's true for many kind of food that asian consuming is cheaper there, except for western or american food like cheese, bacon, pork, and many western veggies it's away expensive in asian market.
Since I am from tiny island in east Indonesia call Timor where beach only 5 minutes away from my parent's house of course I grew up with drink fresh coconut water straight from the coconut fruit and even better sometimes we got straight from the tree. My dad has 1 coconut tree in his yard, my grandpa has piece of land with full of coconut trees so my standard of coconut water is kinda high, like american standard about their shoes or clothes. When I was little kid coconut only 10 cent/piece so you get coconut water and coconut pulpy jelly from young coconut fruit, now days it cost 50cent/piece, we never know about coconut water in can until last few years we have isotonic drink booming in Indo, and still it's an isotonic drink for us not real coconut water/juice.
2 months ago a friend stayed in our house and shared information about which is the best coconut water in California, when we talked about it and I complained about coconut water in here. She pointed in one brand which is for her is really good cause fresh and no sugar adding like many coconut water can in here, it's almost 2$/small bottle for 2 grams/280 ml coconut water with lil pulpy, it's expensive for me but yeah better taste I think than others that we always got from Asian market.

Well of course we always have coconut water cans in the house cause mike love them so much, I drink sometimes but not that much because I am not really enjoying them, when we got them few days ago we added some cans from new brand and today I drank that new brand to give a try and boo yaahh, it's really good, packed in Thailand, and distributing from san Ramon, CA with brand Sun Tropics, no added sugar and the taste really good just like real coconut water sure with pulpy, for 520 ml in can it's only cost 99 cent in Asian market, very recommended for taste and price. As mike always said all the expensive brand from healthy Asian food in here, they are only change the package and price so it will look good for them but the content just as same as regular cheap one in Asian market
Thank you Mikey for picked this up
