Default "Acid" oranges?

Saved for ritual tasting by visiting family. One reported "acidic". Why?!
I water & feed them regularly; they get plenty of sun; good soil. My heart is broken. Any thoughts?

Do you know the variety? Some oranges are naturally sour (e.g.,
'Seville' oranges). Also, orange trees grown from seed often do not
reflect the quality of the fruit from their parents.
