Never heard of them before. I looked at the Coconut Thai and have never seen anything close to the ingredients of "fresh thai basil and bright lemongrass." Yeah, that is some pretty expensive juice! I'd be looking for an alternative too!

Just reading the other flavor profiles, it sounds like juice you'd get at a place called "The Fresh Market". They sell only organic type foods for twice the price of a regular grocery store.

I was eye-balling that one, but decided to go with trying out the Key Lime Cookie one instead. I already have the Monkey Snack one, but that's still too banana forward for me right now. Steeping it a bit longer to see if that changes.

Will keep an eye on this thread to see if someone comes up with a similar juice, as I'd like to try a cheaper version, too. ;)

I'd love to help, but I've yet to find a decent juice that has a "realistic" coconut flavor. I've tried many and even tried to DIY my own using several different flavorings and that is one of the hardest flavors to nail down. I'm sure there are juices out there or DIY flavorings that can do the job, but I have yet to come across them.

I'm tempted to try the Coconut Thai, but I have 20+ bottles in my "juice bar" and the same amount in my steeping cabinet.

Maybe we can take turns buying a bottle and sending the each other half? :thumbs:

taste is subjective, but with coconut thai, to me, the coconut is very subtle but holy crap it is good. i go through 2 30ml bottles a week in my kennedy dripper and its killing me..the hunt continues for a cheaper clone.

My only suggestion with a unique juice like that is to try and DIY your own version. Something to keep in mind, most commercial juice companies on the market right now do not make their own flavorings. They source them, usually, from the big five flavoring companies: Capella, TFA, Flavor West, Flavour Art, and Hangsen. So, you can get all of the flavors necessary, the only difficult piece is the proportions

ETA: It looks like an easy juice to replicate. Coconut forward, Thai Basil Finish, with a hint of lemon grass.
