Tahitian (Papua New Guinea) Vanilla Beans (Grade A)

Tahitian vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea (PNG) are generally shorter, plumper, and contain a much higher oil and water content than Bourbon beans. The aroma is flowery, fruity and anisic with a smooth flavor. They are often decribed as smelling like licorice, cherries, or wine. Gourmet pastry chefs love to work with the Tahitian (Tahitensis) variety, which are perfect for many applications.

Description

Tahitian Vanilla comes from the fruit of an orchid variety called Vanilla Tahitensis which is a completely different species than the Bourbon (Planifolia) varieties from Madagascar. Tahitian beans are more delicate than Bourbon beans with completely different flavor profile - they are flowery, fruity and anisic with a smooth flavor. Gourmet pastry chefs love to work with the Tahitian variety because of their sweet floral flavor.

  6. Sweet Vanilla

    by Ben Lindo on Jun 7, 2012

    This one's a bit more floral smelling but I didn't find the scent too different from the Mexican vanilla.
    I had a Rodelle brand vanilla bean which doesn't specify where it's from but due to it's floral taste I believe it was Tahitian as well, it actually seemed a bit more floral. I haven't tried using this yet, I'm just going by the scent for now, which is nice.
  7. Good beans so far.

    by satans RT hand on Jun 2, 2012

    Purchased beans to make vanilla extract. They have been soaking in vodka for a month and smell great. One month to go!
  8. Have yet to be displeased.

    by Blake Belleman on Jun 2, 2012

    Having heard vanilla beans were even more expensive than even good vanilla extract, I had always shied away from even looking them up, but at $12 for 25 (essentially $.50 ea) you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not giving these a try. I love the floral accents unique to Tahitian beans, and they will be sure to take your dish to the next level.

    I received my beans from Beanilla and was very pleased. They came in a resealable vacuum bag and were extremely fragrant when first opened. I'm always apprehensive about ordering food on the internet (I like being able to hand pick and examine what I'm buying), I can confidently say I would definitely go through them again.
  9. Wonderfully fragrant vanilla beans

    by Garin Gulu on Jun 2, 2012

    I love Tahitian vanilla! They are so good that I have just ordered my second batch (and 1 bean is enough to make a 12" layer cake fragrant)

    by Carolyn Lidge on Jun 2, 2012

    I am so beyond pleased with my purchase. My order arrived very well sealed, plump, fresh. The recipes supp[lied on line gave me a slew of ideas for using my product. Would I buy this again? I would buy no other! Beanilla now has another customer for life! Thank you so much for being everything you advertised.
