    • Length ~ 5 - 7 Inches (13 - 15 cm) / Average moisture of 28% - 33%
    • Harvested from the Latest Vanilla Crop
    • Origin is Indonesia

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

Storage: Vacuum packed/sealed bag preferred to ensure fresh beans. Shelf Life of approximately 2 years if properly vacuum sealed.

Hands Down My Fave

I started my vanilla extract journey in 2024 and purchased a small quantity of the Tahitian beans. Boy oh boy am I glad I gave them a try but am also disappointed that I didn’t purchase more because of how much I love them. thanks VBK for wonderful products, plump and fragrant beans along with fast shipping!

I have order beans from several sources. The beans I’ve gotten from the kings are by far the best. Thick, oily and the aromas are to die for! The extracts are going to be amazing!!

Always great prices

I started making vanilla extract and paste a couple of years ago and Vanilla Bean King has great prices and a great selection of beans. And the monthly coop sale is always great with low prices and always free shipping the US. I am getting ready to start a few more batches.

Tahitian Beans Are Amazing

I’ve really enjoyed VKB’s Tahitian vanilla beans. So far, I’ve made vanilla sugar, vanilla simple syrup, and vanilla extract with them. They were shipped on time and the price was great because I bought them during their coop sale., which takes place at the end of every month.

The flavor profile of the bean is very unique — fruity and floral, sweet and subtle, and just complex and exotic, like Tahiti itself.

I recommend this bean and Vanilla Bean King whole heartedly!

Can’t wait to order more beans!

I can’t wait to make some baked goods using the extract, when it’s ready.

Tahitian Delight!

As usual, the Tahitian beans arrived fat & juicy ready for extracting & paste (AGreens recipe in the co-op group site files). VBK has never failed to provide class A beans. Give it a try.

Tahitian beans are what I love! Great oil, plump and full of yummy caviar. Split

Tahitian beans are one of my all time favorites! Plump, oily, full of caviar just ready to bathe in my also favorite coconut rum. The vanilla paste passed the test in a cranberry loaf. You can’t go wrong with the Tahitian beans Super price when the co-op sale includes these beans.

Great

The bean were plump and in perfect condition. So far I have purchased about 7 different times and each time was great. The beans were soft and just how they should be. They were vacuum sealed. I have started mant small batches of vanilla extract and am experimenting with different alcohols. The vanilla I've been able to use so far has been wonderful. This is a great company with great group pricing!

Excellent customer service

When I placed my order I had an error in my mailing address so my package was returned to VBK. I sent an email letting them know what happened and offered to pay shipping as it was my error. I then emailed a screenshot showing the return and promptly received an email stating the return package had been received and they would ship it to my correct address at no charge. Not only is the product awesome so is their service.
