Beans in the Tour of IndriVanilla

 A selection of the beans featured on this page will be included in your purchase of "The Tour of IndriVanilla."  A deluxe version of this tour is also available and has a different selection of beans.

Indonesian

Classic beans with notes of cinnamon, cream, and butter. These beans are the most “common” flavor of vanilla. Extract made with these beans will give the familiar flavor bought in stores.  This variety is available as a group order.  (V. planifolia, Bourbon Cured) 

Madagascar Bourbon

Probably the most well known vanilla bean. Madagascar beans have a rich, woody, clear smell with notes of cream and caramel that is very similar to the smell of the vanilla bought in stores. This variety is available as a group order. (V. planifolia, Bourbon Cured) 

Madagascar Mexican Cure

 Vanilla beans grown in Madagascar but cured with the Mexican method have fragrance notes of cream and caramel with an added depth and richness. They also have notes of chocolate. Length can vary from 13 cm to over 20 cm! This variety is available as a group order. 

(V. planifolia, Sun Cured) 

Mexican

 A classic variety of vanilla, these beans grown in Mexico have flavor notes of caramel and cream with a sun-kissed warmth and slight spiciness. This variety is available as a group order.

Papua New Guinea V. planifolia

Similar to Indonesian or Madagascar Bourbon, these are "work horse beans" with fragrance notes including cream, caramel, and dried fruit. This variety is available as a group order.

Papua New Guinea V. tahitensis

 Fragrance notes of cream and caramel with an added lightness or brightness. These are lovely in lighter applications such as fruit based desserts.  This variety is available as a group order.  (V. tahitensis, grown in Papua New Guinea, Bourbon Cured) 

Sri Lankan

This is a more rare variety of vanilla bean. It's very rich and dark with flavor notes of chocolate, mocha, and caramel.  This variety is available as a group order.  (V. planifolia, Bourbon Cured)
