2003: THE BEGINNING
It goes a little something like this: two friends walk into a New York City bar and strike up a conversation with two Brazilian women. The friends ask what they miss most about home, and the women tell them about "agua de coco." When they learn that the coconut water hype is real, they hatch a plan to bring coconut water to the U.S. Vita Coco® is born.
2010: VITA COCO LAUNCHES IN THE U.K!
In 2010 Vita Coco crossed the Atlantic and launched in the UK and, as with in the US, everyone went nuts for coconut water! The next coconut water fanatics were France, Spain, & Sweden (to name a few!) and the Middle East (hello hydration!). You can now find us in over 54 countries across the world.
2011: BUILDING BUZZ
Coconut water quickly moves from side line to centre stage, loved by super-fans and celebrity investors that catapult the brand to stardom.
2014: COCONUTS FOR GOOD
Realizing that coconut production is having a positive impact on our farming communities, we launch The Vita Coco Project®. Together with our partners, we've formed an ambition to positively impact 1 million people in coconut farming communities around the world.
