Organic food and taste

I started to buy organic food a couple of months ago. I order online and in my city there are 3 certified organic stores which sell groceries online. I notice that the fruit from one of these tastes starkly better than that from the other two. I mostly order apples, bananas, guavas and sweet lime, and all these taste more intense and sweet when I order from the first store as compared to the other two.

How do I understand this? I am wondering if this means that the fruit from the first store is truly organic, or more organic, as compared to others. Even though I have seen the certificates of all three, I don't think merely having a certificate makes things fool-proof, especially in this country (India).

At the same time, I also wonder if taste could be a function of climate or freshness. These stores get there fruit from different places in the country.

Interestingly, I don't see much difference in vegetables from the three stores so far - irrespective of whether I eat them raw or cooked, although I haven't really ordered from all three to much of an extant, so it might be premature to say.

What do you all think?
