Coconut water brand Coconutea is launching in the UK in six varieties.

Coconutea is a premium coconut water made with Sri Lanka’s king coconut, combined with green tea.

Distributor Vivo Tea Company is targeting the UK retail sector, as it believes it has identified a gap in the market. The coconut water category is predicted to grow by 35%, according to Mintel.

The six varieties, each available at an RRP of £3.49 are Lemon, Peach, Pineapple, Passionfruit, Strawberry and Soursop. Coconutea is rich in magnesium, sodium, potassium and B-complex vitamins, which the supplier says makes it ideal as a rehydration drink.

Sanjiv Rai, founder and director of Coconutea, said: “Coconutea is an exciting opportunity for the UK healthy fruit juice sector, adding so much value to the drinks range than a standard coconut water.

“King coconut – The jewel of Sri Lanka – is the unique ingredient that not just makes Coconutea supremely refreshing, it also contains an unprecedented combination of naturally occurring minerals and vitamins.

“We’ve created a health drink that not only tastes great, but lifts mind, body and soul.”
