4.3
Blue Stripes Urban Cacao earns positive reviews for innovative, upcycled cacao products that hydrate and satisfy, though taste divides. Reviewers praise the refreshing, coconut-water–like cacao water with natural electrolytes and the dark chocolate’s rich, not-too-sweet flavor, but note inconsistent fruit flavors (especially mango), occasional sour or bitter notes, and chocolate that melts or softens quickly.

I have never heard of cacao water before trying this. It honestly tasted just like coconut water, but with a hint of nutty tones. I tried the plain variety so I could get the pure taste, then later bought the lime variety. It's a very hydrating drink containing natural vitamins and minerals. The lime flavor tasted tart, fresh, and natural.
It tastes somewhat fruity sweet without any sugar nor sweeteners of any sort. I like it with food instead of 100% juices I drink that have way more calories and less nutrients. Other than that it doesn’t make me feel any greater than juice, but certainly satisfies better. I will continue to pick during sales, but regular price is a little steep, I think. Definitely unique!
Blue Stripes Cacao water is so delicious and unique. My favorite is the original so you can taste the cacao water alone. It’s full of natural electrolytes so it’s really hydrating. I like it when I’m working out or after a night of drinks. It’s a delicious drink with great benefits. Their products are also up cycled so you also feel good about supporting their mission.
I like the mission behind their products more than anything else, but the taste of the drinks isn't for me. Both flavors tasted the same to me. The mango one had no mango flavor. The cacao flavor itself I insist tastes kind of sour like pickles, but my partner thinks I'm crazy. The sugar content in these is also somehow surprisingly large, so I can only assume that the cacao fruit itself naturally contains a lot. It's just odd to me because it doesn't taste particularly sweet given the slightly sour flavor of the drink. I also wish these were bottled in something other than plastic. On the flipside, their chocolate bar I tried tastes amazing and has the slightly fruity taste to it that gives it depth. I definitely recommend their chocolate bars.
