Mandarin, Red

Citrus reticulata

Grown and pressed in Italy

The Red Mandarin is picked when the fruit is at full maturity, when the fruit is at its sweetest. This mandarin is complete happiness, sunshine, and loving delight. Red mandarin is the essence of uplifting and optimism. 

Soft delicious citrus without acidity or bite. Mandarin is a wonderful and gentle citrus, suitable for most. Use as a tonic, or as an uplifting addition of sunshine. Mandarin is the same botanical name as Tangerine, its American cousin. They smell very similar, with mandarin being a little fuller, a little more sophisticated perhaps, and with a teeny, tiny fish note. Tangerine is a little more innocent, less complicated.

Mandarin is, above all, happy and uplifting. Children love it.

Blends well with grapefruit, jasmine grandiflorum, jasmine sambac, lavender, lime, bitter orange, neroli and ylang ylang
