There are two types of Tahitian vanilla beans. Those from Tahiti and those from Papua New Guinea. This is the real deal. Vanilla from Tahiti is incredible. The aroma is floral with tones of ripe fruit. The flavor is rich with chocolate, licorice and caramel. A major differences between Tahiti vanilla and PNG vanilla is the size. These beans are enormous! These vanilla beans are 2-3 times as plump as other varieties and therefore contain significantly more vanilla caviar inside of the bean. Vanilla from Tahiti has been the Beanilla favorite since we began importing it. Why are these vanilla beans more expensive than other varieties? First and foremost, their size and caviar content mean each Tahitian vanilla beans is about twice the size of other vanilla beans. Vanilla beans from Tahiti are huge! Second, Tahiti is a fairly developed country, especially compared to other regions that grow vanilla. This equates to significantly higher production costs. The farmers we work with in Tahiti are very proud of their product and simply can not sell it for what other countries do. Selling vanilla for any less would simply not be sustainable. We are proud to be able to support these farmers.
