Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, where our suppliers source coconuts from hundreds of local farmers and work directly with coconut plantations.
AKCO Brand, meaning resonates with the world, was first introduced in 2017.
The “AKCO” name, also pronounced as “echo”, was created by the company founder Max who ingeniously used his wife’s initials AK. Max always believed that our bodies were created and symbolized as sacred temples. He also understands that the human body may perform at its highest when consuming healthy beverages.
Max’s Wife also had the same beliefs. She consumed only water because she never enjoyed unhealthy beverages that were made with sugar. Ever since Max introduced AKCO to his wife, she now found her new favorite drink.
Therefore, Max decided to share it with the world.
AKCO Brand is now the most enjoyable and natural Coconut Water on the market.

How can the taste of coconut water be described?
Coconut water has the consistency of regular water, but tastes a bit sweeter.
Texture :
Coconut water is somewhat thick, more than water but not creamy, think maybe of diluted coke or diluted syrup.
Smell :
A fresh coconut will smell sweet and have a clean aroma about it. It is nutty with some anise seed characteristics it is refreshing like mint.
Taste :
First you taste the sweetness then some very little acidity that keeps the liquid refreshing and not heavy. You could drink this like water!
How can you describe the taste of coconut milk?
Unlike coconut water, which is found inside young coconuts, coconut milk is made by grinding the meat of mature coconuts with water, then squeezing the pulp to produce a rich, viscous, opaque “milk” that’s packed with the sweet, floral, nutty flavor of coconut. As an added bonus, it may actually be good for you.
What is Tetra Pak?
