Hm...

I keep buying this juice because it's labelled Organic, and I'm a sucker for buying organic anything. I would have to say the juice tastes pretty average. It's certified organic by QAI, but I really don't know who QAI is, their background, and anyway the juice is trucked in from USA and Mexico, so I don't know where it really came from. The transportation of orange juice (90% water?) from Mexico to the SF Bay Area has to take plenty of diesel fuel via a big rig, so that's wasteful as well. I prefer to buy local brands like Santa Cruz organics, or from local CSAs. (see localharvest.org for a fruit/veggie farm near you)
Even if it tastes so-so, I'm thankful to have the opportunity to buy organic food (even if industrial). Therein lies the rub. Sorry, didn't mean to be so cynical!
