Which lime is better, Bearss, Mexican, or another cultivar? I recently did a taste test on the first two. It seems like most people say the Mexican lime is better. For me it was more acidic, and perhaps intense. But Bearss had a sweeter more pleasant flavor. This comparison may not have been totally fair because the Mexican lime tree was newer, more shaded, and had worse soil. But my wife and I liked Bearss more. What is your favorite?

I haven’t done a comparison on different varieties of limes but I’m wondering if this case is similar to Eureka Vs Meyer lemons. There it pretty much depends on the use. We use lemons mostly for cooking savory dishes/fish a lot and may be lemonade few times a year. Eureka is much better compared to Meyer which really lacks acidity. For milder lemonades (which many prefer), deserts, I can imagine Meyers are more popular.
