 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.

Great benas

While my everyday vanilla is Madagascar Bourbon, Mexican has become my second most used and a secret ingredient in certain recipes. It is hard to describe the nuances between different varieties, but I think of Mexican as a little darker, nutty, almost a bit earthy. The most similar variety is probably Indian, but it's hard to go wrong with any variety.
