APPEARANCE 




Standard tangerine looks – orange skin, orange flesh, no seeds.
AROMA 




Strong, lovely and sweet tangerine.
TEXTURE 




Amazingly soft, running all over my shirt dripping with juice.
TASTE 




Perfectly acidic, slightly flowery, strong, sweet and complicated flavor.
OVERALL 




Extremely delicious. What can I say? This, THIS, is a tangerine. This is the kind of fruit that should make the standard orange hide in shame. Don’t get me wrong, I like oranges. But WOW! This is the kind of fruit you secretly make out with. It’s what perfect lips should be. This is sexy fruit.

NOTES
So once again the world of citrus vexes me. This particular tangerine was released (whatever that means-as if fruit is released from prison or into the wild or something) as an orange but technically speaking the variety is a tangelo hybrid since it is three-fourths mandarin and one-fourth grapefruit. Can you believe it? A TANGELO HYBRID! I think I’m going to have to start a citrus poser page.
