Batangas Mandarin Orange Grafted Healthy Fruit Plant

Luntian and Sintonis: Locally known in Batangas as sintonis or luntian, these oranges are a signature produce of the region, particularly celebrated in the municipality of San Jose.

Distinct Appearance: They typically feature a thin, tight, and relatively smooth skin that transitions from a vibrant green to a patchy yellow-orange as they fully ripen.

Flavor Profile: Known for a refreshing, tangy-sweet flavor, they are often juicier and more aromatic than common imported mandarin varieties.

Cultural Significance: The fruit is so central to the local identity that Batangas formerly held a "Sintonis Festival" to honor its history as a major citrus hub in the Philippines.

Easy to Peel: Despite the thin skin, they remain relatively easy to peel by hand, making them a popular and convenient local snack.
