Vanilla Beans
Excellent Product! Excellent Service!
I'm a convert
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! 💝💃🥳
High Quality Vanilla - excellent customer service.
Slo Food group team takes great care of their customers. Received a broken bottle of Vanilla and it was immediately handled. Received my replacement bottle within 3 days.
This extract is used to make our Tahitian Vanilla Cakes!

Rooted in an Ancient Chinese Tradition
This style traces back to Bai Hao Yin Zhen, "White Hair Silver Needle," a centuries-old tea tradition now also crafted in Sri Lanka's high-altitude estates.

Hand-picked before sunrise, hand-rolled into its signature needle shape, and shade-dried by a master tea maker, no shortcuts at any stage.

The Finest Hand-Picked Silver Tip White Tea Online
Buy rare silver tip white tea from Slofoodgroup. Grown in the fertile soils of Sri Lanka near Adam's Peak, Ceylon white tea is celebrated for its light honey and fruity flavor profile. The young buds, not yet leaves, are harvested when they're half-inch needles covered in a light white to silver fuzz. These fine white to silver hairs protect the buds from cold and frost, and give white tea its name.
Why Silver Tip White Tea Is So Rare
How Silver Tip White Tea Is Made
Flavor, Aroma, and What to Expect
White tea is the least processed and most costly tea to produce in the world. Its style traces back to a centuries-old Chinese tradition known as Bai Hao Yin Zhen, or "White Hair Silver Needle," now also crafted in a handful of other tea-growing regions, including the high-altitude estates of Sri Lanka near Adam's Peak. Because only the youngest, most delicate buds qualify, and only for a brief harvest window each year, silver tip white tea remains one of the rarest and most labor-intensive teas grown anywhere in the world, a genuine reason for its price compared to more common teas.
The tender buds of the Camellia sinensis plant are hand-picked before sunrise and carefully placed in silk pouches to shield them from direct sunlight. Prior to drying, the buds are hand-rolled, creating their signature needle shape, then slowly dried in the shade by a master tea maker. Drying in the shade, rather than direct sun, helps prevent oxidation and preserves the tea's naturally occurring polyphenols, part of what gives white tea its delicate character and pale golden color once brewed.
Ingredients: 100% white tea
Characteristic of dry leaves: delicate half-inch needle shape with soft white fuzz
Color: white to slightly silver tone; brews to a pale, golden infusion
Aroma: soft, floral, complex, with subtle honey and pine notes
Flavor profile: floral, stone fruits, ripe peaches, with a light, sweet, honey-like finish
How to Properly Brew White Tea
To brew white tea, steep one tablespoon of loose tea per 8-ounce cup of water for 2-3 minutes, using water heated to around 175-180°F rather than a full boil, which can scorch the delicate buds. If you prefer a stronger cup, try steeping slightly longer or adding more tea leaves rather than using hotter water. The flavor is subtle, sweet, and refreshing, and the buds can often be steeped a second time for a lighter, equally enjoyable cup. Looking for something bolder? Try our Ceylon black tea or Ceylon green tea for a different tea experience entirely.
