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

  • Traditionally Cured Gourmet Planifolia Vanilla Beans from 2023-2024 Crop
  • Average Length: Approximately 4 – 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.

Uganda Beans

I purchased Uganda beans and can’t wait for my vanilla to be ready. I made two batches using rum for one and vodka for the other.
I can’t wait to make more!

Ugandan Vanilla is my favorite

It takes a year to know if you had really delicious vanilla beans. I’ve been reaching for my Ugandan vanilla more often than any other of my flavors. Guess I need to make more before v c completely run out.

Great quality

I have ordered from this website multiple times to make vanilla extract as Christmas gifts and always have a great experience. This was my first time ordering grade A and it was incredibly moist, very fragrant and so easy to scrape. I struggle to estimate how much to order each time as well, but I ordered 1/2 lb and this was make enough for 2 handles of vodka and 2 handles of bourbon, about 36 8 oz containers

Can't wait!!!

Nothing beats opening one of these packs of beans, you can smell it through the package it's like heaven. I'm getting to the end of my extract made from Madagascar beans (you can only top it off so much lol) it was so delicious, I wanted to try another kind of bean!! I'll let you know in 6-12 months how it turns out!!! The bottle on the left is the new extract with Ugandan beans, the bottle on the right is the Madagascar extract I've been milking for a year
