At The Orange Shop, we like to say that our orange juice is kind of like gumbo -- we squeeze all the varieties we have at the time, and the combination of orange, tangerine, tangelo and other varieties provides for an interesting and pleasing flavor with every batch, and they're all a little bit different.
The best way for you to duplicate this experience at home is to order one of the many variety combination packs we offer through the season, and then experiment with different blends. A combination of Navels, Sunburst Tangerines, and Orlando Tangelos will have you wishing for more when you squeeze the last one, and a Spring combo of Temples and Honey Tangerines arguably makes the finest juice you've ever tasted. But, don't take our word for it -- try it for yourself!
Here are a couple of inexpensive and good quality juicers to get you started. After you've selected one of them, order up a box of fruit, and get ready for some seriously good juice!
CitriStar This one is a simple juicer that would look good on the countertop. Basic model, appears to be sturdy, and a very reasonable price. We haven't tried it, but Martha Stewart gave it a shout out. Refurbished units available at a discount. Check it out here...... | |
Cuisinart Citrus Juicer Our personal favorite -- this is the one we have on our counter at home. Pulp Control feature really works, and it has fast-spin cycle that gets every drop of juice when you finish up squeezing. Lower price than the CitriStar, and widely available.

Proctor Silex "Lemonade Stand" Juicer Recently received good reviews, and a low price. Has the advantage of collecting the juice in a container. Pulp control feature, too. Available a lot of places, or from Proctor Silex here.... |
