Quality has deteriorated
I have been buying these loose oranges for years and they have always been good, bigger and better than any of the ones that come in bags, even the expensive ones. However, in the last few weeks they have been rather dry and the tissue surrounding each segment has been very tough, making them difficult to slice neatly for a salad and unpleasant to chew. They also have an enormous number of pips - 15 or 16 per orange!
Excellent fruit
We have bought these oranges for several weeks and have had no complaints. I use them for orange salad & they are sweet & juicy. skin is not thin but then I peel it off & squeeze any juice left on it., An excellent orange.

A sweet tasty orange.
I buy one of these for every shop and am amazed how consistently good the taste sweetness and quality is. I lived abroad for a year and these are certainly almost as good (considering they are imported and not fresh) as the ones we picked from the trees.

Rotten oranges
Out of 6 oranges delivered, 3 were rotten within 4 days.
Poor - why remove premium oranges?
Why has Tesco removed the premium Emperor Oranges from sale? As other customers have said, these oranges just don't compare. Please bring back Emperor oranges.
Really poor
The quality was poor all bashed and damaged. Had to throw out.
Very Poor.
These were suggested as an alternative to your Emperor oranges which you have removed from sale. These are the worst oranges I have ever tasted. I suggest you talk to the produce buyer who recommended these (they obviously didn't taste them). So bad, I partially ate 1 & put the other 2 in the bin. Please bring back the Emperors that were 1st class.
