 Our beans are triple inspected throughout the beans journey from Madagascar 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.

Special liquor

I make a coffee liqueur that is really good. I use these beans and let the bottles set for 8-12 months before drinking. Ohhhhh. Good.

first time purchaser

This is my first time buying from vanilla bean Kings, and I'm impressed. Vaccume sealed for freshness, fast shipping, great quality beans. I've used vanilla beans from major food suppliers in my jobs as a pastry chef, and these beans are better than those in quality. The price is 100% worth the product you are getting. This is my first time making extract, and I'm excited to see how it turns out. These beans specifically were oily, full of caviar, and supple. Very fresh quality.
