When the blood orange season comes around in our Santa Barbara Farmer’s Market, it is always so exciting to taste these gorgeous oranges again with their dramatic blood red color – or wine red as I prefer to think of it! They’re famed for showing up in the middle of winter to tide us over until Valencia oranges reappear again.
With their very juicy, sweet but slightly tart flavor, they color everything bright red. Except Teeccino that is…hard to turn our dark, brown liquid red ~ no matter what you add to it. But you can add the sweet, fresh citrus flavor of blood orange to accent Teeccino’s deep roasted body blended with organic orange peel and sweetened with dates and figs. A true juicy citrus delight whether enjoyed hot in winter or iced in summer.
