Man Found Standing Writes:
Tangerine, Ethically Farmed, Conventional: USA Pressed Peel (Citrus reticulata)
Tangerines have somewhat larger fruit than Mandarins but they both seem to have similar properties within the same botanical family. The oil is also extracted through the cold pressing of the peel but the main difference is Tangerine contains a much higher Limonene content, about thirty percent greater. Because of the high costs of having a farm certified organic, and due to the low demand for certified organic Tangerine, most all therapeutic oil is sold conventionally. The certified organic oil is quite a bit more expensive, around four times the cost. If your supplier is claiming to sell certified organic Tangerine for the standard price, they are probably playing the certification hype game and not truly selling the certified organic oil. Due to this high cost most healers prefer using the lower cost ethically farmed oil instead.
