King coconut (Cocos nucifera var aurantiaca) often hailed as the “king of beverages,” is a variety of coconut, native to Sri Lanka, where it is known as Thæmbili (Sinhala තැඹිලි). It has less sugar content than other coconuts and its refreshing water and nourishing properties are renowned worldwide. 

There are several sub-varieties of the king coconut, the most common being the “red dwarf” (kaha thæmbili, commonly referred to as gon thæmbili). The other variety is “Ran Thæmbili”, a smaller variety containing about forty nuts in a bunch.

The king coconut water, or liquid endosperm of young King coconut, is a nutritious beverage rich in sugars (mainly reducing sugars), minerals (mainly K+), vitamins (mainly B & C) and amino acids. King coconut water has been used in Ayurveda (herbal medicine)
