Orange Essence Mango – Pre-Order

Orange Essence is a rare yellow mango from Gary Zill's program (a Kent seedling) grown by few growers. Every box is picked from our own trees in Merritt Island, Florida.

• Flavor: Intensely rich citrus flavor with terrific sweetness (Tropical Acres Farms), distinct from the Lemon Meringue family.
• Texture: Smooth, aromatic flesh.
• Season: Still being confirmed on our trees (our season runs roughly May–September).
• Tier: Rare & Collector ($197 small / $247 large).

What's in the box

One box of Orange Essence mangoes, sold by weight: Small Box (4–5 lb) or Large Box (8–10 lb). Fruit size varies, so the number of mangoes per box varies.

Pre-order and shipping

This is a pre-order for the 2027 season. Harvest timing for Orange Essence is still being confirmed on our trees; we will email you before your box ships. Price includes USPS Priority shipping (2–3 days) to the lower 48 states except California. We can't ship to Alaska, Hawaii or U.S. territories. If the Orange Essence harvest comes up short, you can choose a substitute variety or store credit for the full amount (no cash refunds).

Ripening tip

Mangoes may arrive firm. Keep them at room temperature until they give slightly to gentle pressure and smell sweet at the stem end, then refrigerate to hold them a few extra days. Let Orange Essence ripen fully; the citrus aroma is strongest when the fruit gives to gentle pressure.
