Kokomio is a unique beverage that blends coconut water and pulp together for a taste that’s richer than water, lighter than a smoothie, and more refreshing than both. Our coconuts come from the palm trees in beautiful Guerrero, Mexico, which produce the most delicious coconuts you’ll ever taste. They’re naturally lower in sugar than other coconuts, which means they provide the perfect amount of sweetness without any of the added sugar. We’re dedicated to becoming a zero-waste company. That’s why we blend both coconut pulp and liquid into each bottle of Kokomio. We also transform spent coconut husks into insulated shipping packs, transporting the beach in a bottle to you in an eco-friendly way.
