Named after the beautiful city of Sentani in the western region of Papua, Indonesia where these amazing beans are grown. What is Grade B Extract Grade Tahitensis Vanilla? Sentani Indonesian Grade B Vanilla Beanss are much more dry than Grade A but still with a strong vanilla scent. Grade B vanilla beans are ideal for extract-making and vanilla bean powder. They are usually between 4-6 inches long and have a dark brown color. The dry texture allows alcohol to penetrate more easily and extract the vanilla flavor compounds more efficiently, making them perfect for homemade vanilla extract at a lower price point than Grade A beans. Tahitensis Vanilla from Papua, Indonesia We named these beans after the beautiful city of Sentani in the western region of Papua, Indonesia where these amazing beans are grown. Papua, Indonesia is located on the Indonesian coastline—a beautiful tropical paradise in the "Bean Belt" where vanilla beans can be harvested year-round. The unique terroir of this region produces tahitensis vanilla beans with exceptional floral and fruity characteristics. Bold Floral Aroma with Blackberry & Anise Notes When you first open a pouch of Sentani vanilla, your nose will be met with an aroma that is bold and teases allspice, orange and blackberry. When you remove the first bean from the pouch and bring it to your nose, the distinct vanilla base will present itself with hints of tropical flowers, reminiscent of the paradise where the bean is grown—a reminder that these durable little vanilla beans come from a delicate, beautiful orchid. Complex Spicy & Berry Extract Flavor A Sentani vanilla bean extract will have complex spicy and berry notes under its bold vanilla taste that will enhance the taste of creams, custards and fruit-based desserts with a crisp accent of sweetness not present in traditional vanilla. These beautiful Sentani beans are truly an experience in and of themselves. Perfect for Homemade Vanilla Extract For homemade vanilla extract, use the ratio of 1oz of beans for every 8oz of alcohol. For light spirits (vodka, white rum, gin), age up to 1 year. For dark spirits (bourbon, dark rum, brandy), age 18 months to 2 years for optimal flavor development. Ideal for Fruit-Based Desserts & Creams For homemade ice cream, fruit tarts, custards, pies and creams, Sentani Indonesian Grade B Vanilla Beans is a perfect application. The floral, blackberry notes complement fruit desserts beautifully, while the spicy undertones add complexity to custards and creams. These beans are also ideal for making vanilla bean powder. Tahitensis vs Planifolia Vanilla Beans Indonesian Grade B Vanilla Beans V. tahitensis vanilla beans, like these Sentani Indonesian beans, are distinctly different from the more common V. planifolia vanilla beans. Tahitensis beans are known for their floral, fruity characteristics with distinctive anise and berry notes, making them ideal for applications where you want a more delicate, aromatic vanilla flavor with pronounced floral and fruit character. Grade B Vanilla Bean Specifications On average, there are 6-15 beans per ounce depending on the moisture content of the specific batch of vanilla beans.
