I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

Frequently Asked Questions
- No, not exactly, but they are closely related. Both are the same species, Vanilla tahitensis, which originated in Tahiti. However, only a small amount of vanilla is actually grown on the island of Tahiti today; most Vanilla tahitensis sold commercially is grown in Papua New Guinea, which has become one of the primary producers of this species worldwide. We carry PNG Tahitensis vanilla as well as Vanilla tahitensis from true Tahiti and Ecuador, so you can choose the origin that best fits your needs and budget. Within the vanilla industry, 'Tahitian vanilla' is commonly used as a species name (referring to Vanilla tahitensis) rather than strictly a place-of-origin claim, similar to how 'Bourbon vanilla' refers to the Vanilla planifolia species rather than literally the Bourbon Islands. We use the term in that same industry-standard sense. PNG-grown tahitensis shares the same floral, fruity, cherry-and-anise flavor profile as true Tahiti-grown beans, though the pods tend to be smaller and less plump, making them a more accessible price point for the same species.
- They come from different vanilla species entirely. Madagascar vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) has a rich, creamy, warm flavor with caramel and cocoa notes, and is the classic choice for baking and traditional extract. PNG Tahitensis vanilla (Vanilla tahitensis) has a lighter, more delicate flavor with floral, fruity notes of cherry, anise, and oak. Tahitensis is generally better suited to cold applications like custards, ice cream, and whipped cream, since its floral aromatics are more heat-sensitive than planifolia's flavor compounds.
- Our PNG Tahitensis beans measure at least 4.5-5 inches (14-15 cm) in length, with a moisture content of approximately 25-30%, giving them a plump, oily texture typical of gourmet Grade A vanilla. There are approximately 120-130 beans per pound on average, though actual count can vary depending on bean length within a given batch. Each bean is Kosher certified, non-GMO, vegan, gluten free, and all natural.
- These beans perform exceptionally well in both cold and heated applications, including pure vanilla extract, baking, gelato, chocolate, and desserts like crème brûlée. Testing has shown the flavor holds up well even in high-heat baking, which isn't always true of Tahitian-type vanilla, making these beans more versatile than many other tahitensis-type beans.
- PNG Tahitensis vanilla offers the distinctive floral, fruity flavor profile of the Tahitensis species at a significantly lower price point than true Tahiti-grown vanilla, while also supporting the small farms and villages in Papua New Guinea where it is cultivated. It's an excellent choice for bakers and extract-makers who want the Tahitian flavor profile without the premium cost of true Tahiti vanilla, or who want an alternative to the more common Madagascar Bourbon flavor.
