Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: sweeter than some other orange juices that I've had, which have been more strongly tart. This one is a great balance. It's smooth, not too thick, and simply delicious. Because the brand doesn't have any particularly endearing qualities (e.g. socially-, environmentally-minded), I'd prefer to support brands like Kiju, that produce 100% fruit juices and are more impressive on those previously mentioned counts.

Well, you can't complain about 100% pure fruit juice, right? One serving gets you 120% of your daily vitamin C dose. It's definitely one of the better fruit juices to buy because it is high in vitamin C (e.g. compared to apple juice or grape juice). It does have 25g of sugar, but this is still less than the sugars found in apple juice and grape juice (reference here).
If you're watching your weight, then just because this is natural sugar, doesn't mean much. Remember that natural sugars have the same calories as processed sugar, so be careful with portion control (reference here). One glass should be enough for the day or even half a glass (since it would provide 60% vitamin C and you could get the remainder throughout the day). And remember, sometimes it may make more sense to eat the actual fruit (e.g. an orange) than drink the juice. It will be more filling and you may ingest fewer calories.
