S Seville orange [seh-VIHL]
S A popular bitter orange grown in the Mediterranean region.
S It has a thick, rough skin and an extremely tart, bitter
S flesh full of seeds. Because of its high acid content, the
S Seville is not an eating orange but (because of that same
S acidity) is extremely popular for making marmalades as well
S as LIQUEURS such as COINTREAU, CURAÇAO, GRAND MARNIER and
S TRIPLE SEC.

S The Seville orange also finds its way into sauces and
S relishes, and is a particular favorite with duck because its
S acidity helps counteract the fatty flavor. The dried peel is
S often used for seasoning.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! I finally solved the
problem myself by going into a Hispanic (Salvadorean) grocery in
Rockville, MD which had "Naranjo en Flor" for a very low cost.
My (probably rather unreliable) translation of the Spanish on
the bottle indicates that its main use may be for a tisane or
tea but it's what I wanted!
