Our beans are triple inspected throughout the beans journey from Tanzania to the United States. 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.   

    • Traditionally Cured Gourmet Planifolia Vanilla Beans from 2024 - 2025 Crop
    • Average Length: Approximately 4 – 7 Inches (13 cm – 16 cm)

Storage: Vacuum packed/sealed bag preferred to ensure fresh beans otherwise wrapped in zip lock bag inside an air tight container such as a glass jar. Shelf Life of approximately 2 years if properly vacuum sealed.

Smells incredible.

I received the beans in airtight packaging. They were exactly as pictured and described. The smell was amazing and I immediately got to work slicing them up because I didn’t want to give up that smell. I’ll know if they’re really good or not in 6 months but my first impression was a good one.

First timer

I’ve been wanting to make my own vanilla for many years and was too afraid to try because I thought it would be hard to do. I’m glad I tried it now. It’s so simple and I can’t wait to try it in a few months. This is a photo on day 3 after starting it.

So worth it!

These beans arrived super fresh it vacuum sealed packages. They are moist, plump and bendable. The aroma the minute you open the package is amazing. I use these to make homemade extract. I purchase enough to make for my own use and enough to portion out in smaller bottles to give as Christmas gifts- nothing like receiving homemade, fresh extract!

Decadent!

This is my second order of these Tanzanian vanilla beans. They are moist, plump and full of amazing flavor! They are absolutely delicious for my homemade vanilla bean paste. Flavor profile has undertones of chocolate and caramel. Perfection! I absolutely love this variety of vanilla bean. I’ve ordered a bunch from vbk and have never been disappointed, everything is excellent quality and shipping is timely. Thanks again for another great bean variety!
