Tongan vanilla beans are celebrated worldwide for their bold, pronounced vanilla flavor with distinctive fruity notes. These V. planifolia beans from the South Pacific island of Tonga offer unique cherry and black licorice undertones that create exceptional homemade vanilla extract. Perfect for extract making: Grade B vanilla beans contain the same rich vanilla oils as Grade A beans but at a lower moisture content, making them ideal for vanilla extract production at a more affordable price point. The drier texture allows for better extraction when making vanilla extract with vodka, bourbon, rum, or other spirits.
