Plant Origin
Mandarin Tree is a native of China, but was taken to Europe in 1805 and a little later to America, who now is a large producer of this oil. The name "mandarin" is said to come from the fact that it was a traditional gift amongst the Mandarin people of China.
The difference between tangerines and mandarins are the fact that tangerines are harvested around November while mandarins are harvested around February. Tangerines are also deeper orange in color and do not have pips, while mandarins are more yellow and do have pips.
