The taste test decides which is best! IMHO Cabana is top shelf. It's just a matter of taste buds. My first taste of Cabana years ago decided it for me. That's what I told 41 beverage company executives in my letters to them 1.5 years ago. Taste, it's simply that and nothing more. No BS. Just agree to disagree. No problem! Vita Coco is not top shelf, IMO. If Cabana gets out there consistently and is widely spread to new taste buds, it will occupy top shelves every where even in Asia. Vita Coco will quickly move to the bottom shelf. No BS! It's a winner by far!!!
