🌿 Grade A Tahitian Vanilla Beans — whole, plump pods bursting with fragrant seeds and a distinctly floral, fruity aroma that sets Tahitian vanilla apart from all other varieties. Whether you're baking, making homemade ice cream, or crafting a custard from scratch, these beans bring a depth of flavour that's hard to replicate with anything else. They also make a thoughtful, gourmet gift for the home cook or baker in your life.
✨ Features
- 🫘 Grade A Quality: Plump, moist pods generously packed with tiny, fragrant vanilla seeds — the hallmark of truly fresh, high-grade beans.
- 📏 Pod Length: Approximately 5–7 inches (13–15 cm) per bean, with an average moisture content of 28–33%.
- 🌸 Flavour Profile: Rich floral undertones with a gentle, lingering sweetness — complex, aromatic, and unmistakably Tahitian.
- 🌍 Origin: Indonesia, harvested from the latest vanilla crop.
- 🔍 Triple Inspected: Every batch is inspected three times — by our farmers at harvest, before bulk vacuum sealing, and again at our warehouse before your order is packed.
- 🧴 Vacuum Sealed: Packed in a custom industrial vacuum pouch at a tight 28 HG vacuum to lock in freshness and protect against mold.
- 📦 Shelf Life: Approximately 2 years when properly vacuum sealed and stored.
💛 Benefits
- 🍨 Elevate your cooking: A single pod can transform ice creams, custards, fruit-based baked goods, sauces, and even homemade perfumes with genuine, nuanced vanilla flavour.
- 🎁 A gift worth giving: For the baker, the foodie, or the home chef — whole vanilla beans feel special in a way that an extract simply doesn't.
- ✅ Confidence in every pod: The triple-inspection process means you receive beans that are fresh, mold-free, and exactly as described.
- 🕰️ Long shelf life: Properly sealed, these beans stay fresh for up to 2 years — so you can stock up without worry.
- 🌱 Harvested fresh: Sourced directly from experienced farmers with generations of knowledge growing these gourmet pods.
🍽️ How to Use
- Split the pod: Use a sharp knife to slice the bean lengthwise down the centre.
- Scrape the seeds: Use the back of your knife to scrape out the tiny seeds (also called vanilla caviar) — these go straight into your recipe.
- Use the whole pod: Drop the spent pod into sugar, cream, or milk to infuse even more flavour — nothing goes to waste.
- Make vanilla extract: Submerge split beans in vodka or another neutral spirit and leave for 8+ weeks for a rich homemade extract.
