 Our beans are triple inspected throughout the beans journey. 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 Tahitensis Vanilla Beans from 2023-2024 Crop
  • Average Length: Approximately 5 – 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.

Vanilla Bean Kings for a reason!

This is my third purchase from VBK’s and each time the quality has been exceptional. Shipping is prompt and well packaged. Each bag of beans are vacuum sealed and when you open them the aroma is incredible. My first two purchases were the Madagascar Grade A vanilla beans and I paired with Grey Goose Vodka and the other Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. This round I purchased the Equadorian Grade A beans and they are soaking up a little Bumbu Rum which notes of chocolate, caramel, and banana which should pair nicely. Unfortunately in my excitement I did not take any pictures of the beans themselves.

Amazing scent

These beans arrived well packaged, just as promised. Upon arrival, they were immediately placed into vodka to steep for extract. After three days, the liquid is already a beautiful color. It'll be hard to wait these next several months!
