This is the Lotte Jeju Sarang Gamgyul Sarang Mandarin Juice. It contained 50% mandarin juice from Jeju Island, a volcanic island in South Korea well known for its favourable climate for growing the fruit.
The juice was an opaque orange colour with a fresh, slightly sweet mandarin aroma. Served chilled, the refreshing notes of mandarin came through with an enjoyable sweetness and gentle acidity that captured the flavour of the fruit’s flesh without the bold acidity and bitterness typical of orange juice. The juice was smooth and delivered a full mandarin flavour with a clean finish but the absence of pulp gave it a thinner mouthfeel than we’re accustomed to with the Grove Juice Signature Mandarin Juice. Overall, this juice was refreshing and enjoyable in its balance of sweetness and acidity. At 9% sugar content, we would be happy to repurchase.
This Lotte Jeju Sarang Gamgyul Sarang Mandarin Juice contained 1.5 L. It was produced in South Korea and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2022.
