Advantages: Taste, Appearance.

Disadvantages: None.

I had to suggest this product for dooyoo to add because I just think it is cruel for everyone who has not yet heard of it. I first tried this apple juice when I was up in Yorkshire at Christmas and my boyfriends Aunt gave us some with our lunch. I remember thinking it was the best apple juice I had ever tasted but forgot to mentally note down what it brand it was. Fast forward to the beginning of February and I was walking in Tesco’s and saw the apple juice and since then I have been addicted to it so this is why I think Copella apple juice is just the best.

Well what is it?

Copella apple juice is practically just apple juice but it is actually made from hand selected apples. If I just tell you what it says on the bottle about what it is;

‘What makes Copella unique is simple, it’s the closest thing to eating an apple. Simple, natural, honest, true, unspoilt by many of the artificial elements of modern life, Copella reflects the timeless values of the Suffolk countryside. Using hand selected whole apples picked at perfect ripeness, then pressed on our farm in Suffolk, Copella is the irresistible taste experience for every occasion.’

Now doesn’t that sound nice?

Packaging and Appearance:

The first thing that Strikes me about a Copella bottle is how posh it looks. It is kind of square and the label actually shows a picture of some scrumptious looking apples and is it looks antique to me but that may just be to me. The actual bottle itself is quite a hard plastic and the word Copella along with an apple leaf is raised on the plastic around the top of the bottle.

The appearance of the actual apple juice is great because usually when I see the actual drink it looks kind of like urine and it turns me off drinking it. This drink you can see through the bottle on the shelf because the plastic is clear. When you slice an apple in half and it looks kind of creamy colour then that is the colour of this drink. It just looks like somebody got an apple, liquidized it and put it in a bottle which coincidentally is exactly what they have done.

The actual drink:

Ok so I am going to open my new bottle right here while writing this so I can give you an accurate description of what it is like.

When I open my bottle up I cannot particularly smell the juice at all which to me is an extremely good thing as I hate that acidic smell you get with some apple juice. When I do get the bottle close to my nose though I can smell apple, nothing else but apple and it smells really pure and very good for you.

Now I am pouring it into a class as I would not recommend drinking from the bottle as the top is quite wide and you will probable get more over you than in your mouth. It is striking how smooth this drink is when you pour it. I am a big fan of smoothies and I even make my own some times and I find that you always get bits in your drinks that give it quite a lumpy texture when you drink it. This is very thick but smooth and looks gorgeous even when you pour it.

To the interesting part the taste. What strikes me about the taste it is just like you are eating an apple, seriously it tastes exactly the same. It is very easy to drink and the fact that it is quite thick makes you taste the fruit very well. Unlike normal juices it does not taste acidic at all but it actually tastes as smooth as it looks and it is very easy to drink. It has taken me about two minutes to drink my 250ml bottle because it is that nice. Now usually with me when I drink juice it does make me feel a little ill but this one is fine and I actually think that I could drink a lot more.

Looking at the label on the bottle it says that only 150ml of the juice gives you a daily portion of your fruit for the day so it is so healthy to drink this which always makes you feel good.

Verdict:

Copella apple juice is the nicest fruit juice drink I have ever had and I can say that with ease because it tastes that nice. I think that the fact that there has been nothing extra added to the apples makes it taste just like you are eating a piece of fruit and because of the taste it actually makes you feel a bit full which is great as you usually do not get that from a drink.

I know I am a bit of a sucker for packaging and things that look pretty but the bottle is great and actually makes me feel a bit proud to have it. Yes I do know that is sad but hey you all should know I am a pretty sad person by now.

Never before have I raved on about a fruit juice before so much that my whole family have actually given it a go and everyone apart from my sister loves it but she is a bit strange anyway (she will kill me when she reads that bit). I would prefer to buy this drink than to sit fussing over eating an apple any day.

In conclusion I have to give this drink five stars because it is absolutely delicious. From the packaging to the appearance to the taste, everything about it is appealing. Next time you go to your local supermarket then I suggest you give it a go.

Thanks for reading.
