Not necessarily better but definitely different, California has a dryer milder climate that renders a thicker peel and sweeter fruit in Valencia oranges which is a contrast to Florida's hotter and wetter climate producing juicier, tarter fruit with a thinner peel. But yes California has "table" oranges and Florida has "juice" oranges
Also California production is outpacing Florida production because of premature fruit drop due to climate change, and less available labor due to a migrant labor shortage.
