And customers agree too.

Trader Joe's is known for solid finds at great prices. While some items are super popular with TJ's loyal shoppers (looking at you, spiced cider and goat cheese), others may be under the radar with shoppers but beloved by employees.
Thankfully, TJ's workers are not shy about telling us what the most under-appreciated products are—we know how much they loved the Non-Dairy Cinnamon Bun Oat Creamer over the holidays. Now, TJ's employees have another must-try item that we may not know about but definitely should.
Trader Joe’s Sparkling Coconut Yuzu Drink
On the latest episode of Trader Joe's podcast, employees from a Providence, Rhode Island store called the Sparkling Coconut Water with Yuzu drink the most under-appreciated item.
If you haven't tried this fizzy drink before, let us introduce you. The sparkling coconut water is made with carbon dioxide for bubbles and a yuzu purée (a sweet and tangy citrus fruit from East Asia) to offer an all-around light and refreshing sip. There is no added sugar, letting the natural sweetness of the coconut water and yuzu shine. You can enjoy this alone, chilled with ice, or as a bubbly addition to your happy hour cocktail.
One employee went on to add they are a "huge sucker" for this drink, as it's not only super tasty but "also helped me like drastically cut down my soda intake here."
While the other TJ's workers in the podcast agreed that this find is incredibly underrated, we checked online and found that many customers are already familiar with the drink and are pretty big fans themselves. On a recent Reddit thread, one user posted about the drink with the caption, "The only thing I drink is regular water. I'm usually very skeptical of any flavored beverage but this is absolutely delicious. 10/10! Go try it!"
Others agreed with the original user, saying, "Yeah, this stuff hits," and, "OMG I love this stuff!!!"
Someone even said, "My favorite summer drink. It reminds me a bit of sunscreen which should be bad, but is wonderful." Another user agreed by stating, "I love that stuff. I keep it in the fridge all summer, it's so good after coming in from the heat. It's good the rest of the year too, just especially good when it's 90° out!"
No matter what the temperature is outside, this tasty Sparkling Coconut Water with Yuzu is a hit and probably won't be under-appreciated for much longer.
