If you’ve only ever used Madagascar beans, you’re missing out on the "floral" side of vanilla. We just got a small batch of Papua New Guinea Tahitensis and they are exactly what you want for your next jar of homemade extract.
📌Grade A & B mixed
Why the Mix?
You get the oily, seed-heavy Grade A pods for those beautiful "black specks" in your frostings, plus the concentrated Grade B pods for deep-steeping into your creams and batters.
high vanillin-to-moisture ratio makes these the #1 choice for homemade vanilla extracts
**The Flavor Profile (The "Scent" of Tahitensis)
• Exotic Floral Notes: Distinctly aromatic with a perfume-like quality.
• Fruity Undertones: Deep notes of black cherry and stone fruit.
• Warm Spice: Subtle, sophisticated hints of star anise and red wine.
Dessert & Pastry Applications
• The "Shining Star" Glaze: Infuse the seeds into your caramel or sugar glazes to create a vanilla-bean-flecked finish for sourdough sticky buns and cinnamon rolls.
• Gourmet Pastry Creams: Steep the pods in milk for tarts and éclairs; the floral profile pairs perfectly with fresh berries and peaches.
• Cold-Process Sweets: Ideal for panna cotta, gelato, and whipped creams where the delicate floral aroma isn't "baked out" by high heat.
• Signature Cheesecake: Use the "caviar" from the Grade A pods for that premium, speckled look that proves you use the real deal.
**Infusions & Specialty Staples
• The Ultimate Extract: A balanced mix of Grade A (for seeds) and Grade B (for potency) creates a dark, rich, and complex homemade extract.
• Botanical Sugar Shakedown: Pulse the beans with granulated sugar to create floral finishing sugars or oversized botanical sugar cubes.
• Artisanal Simple Syrups: Create a cherry-vanilla syrup for high-end cocktails, iced lattes, or Italian sodas.
• Fruit Poaching: Drop a pod into simmering liquid for pears, apricots, or apples to enhance the natural sweetness with a red-wine-like depth.
