 Our beans are triple inspected throughout the beans journey. First, they are inspected by our farmers who have hundreds of years of wisdom and experience growing these gourmet pods.  The second inspection is before bulk vacuum sealing for transport and to ensure no mold has developed. The final inspection is done at our warehouse moments before packing your shipment. We check the smell, quality, and appearance if any mold has developed a final time. Once all of these are checked, we vacuum seal our vanilla beans in our beautiful custom industrial vacuum pouch to a tight 28 HG vacuum.

VBK Beans are the best!!

Making vanilla extract became my hobby during the pandemic. I purchased from other vendors before I found VanillaBeanKings.com. Unlike the first place I ordered from, VBK beans are always vacuum-sealed. Their co-op pricing can’t be beat, and the varieties they offer are unique. While I’m partial to beans from the African continent, all their beans are oily and aromatic.

I LOVE Opening That Envelope

Got my Ecuador vanilla beans opened & soaking in the vodka. Man, do I enjoy opening that beautiful gold foil shipping envelope. That AROMA! As usual the Vanilla Bean Kings pull thru. Great price & every ounce is there that I ordered. Fast shipping too. These folks are always my go-to supplier.

The best beans

Vanilla bean kings will be the only place I purchase from for beans. High quality, I’ve never had an issue, customer service is top notch. Fast shipping. Co-op is the way to go

A New One For Me

I picked up 8 oz. of these on the CO-OP deal. Nice looking beans with great smell. Question: Regarding the co-op deal, it says they are “A/B”. What does that mean specifically? I’ve never seen beans described like that before. Right now, I have 3.6 ounces sitting in about 26 oz. of Wheatley vodka. I think the next batch will be in a white rum. I remain a happy customer of VBK. They’re the ones that enticed me down the rabbit hole almost a year ago!

Good vanilla beans

These are good beans. Vanilla Bean Kings has the best shipping. If you order coop beans on the first day they mail them out that day or the next one. Never had an issue with there products

Ecuador Vanilla Beans are great!

The Ecuador vanilla beans have a strong and wonderful vanilla scent. I am making extract and sugar with them. They are looking great so far and only a few days in.
