According to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization, Madagascar leads the world in vanilla bean production, with nearly 4,000 tons of annual harvests.

One of the more popular Madagascar vanilla beans is the Bourbon bean. Contrary to belief, the Madagascar Bourbon vanilla bean isn't named after a type of alcohol. Bourbon (previously named Reunion) is an island several hundred miles east of Madagascar where the beans are grown. 

These Vanilla Beans are of the highest quality and have a rich, dark aroma. They are very oily with a strong vanilla scent. Grade A Madagascar vanilla beans are usually between 5" and 7" inches long and have a dark brown color. Depending on the size of the beans of each harvest, there can be as few as 4-5 beans/oz or as many as 15beans+/oz. They are perfect for making homemade vanilla extract, home cooking or baking.

Great smelling beans

I started my venture down the extracting 'rabbit hole' in Jan. 2024. I purchased 2 oz. of these great beans to start with, and have since purchased another 4 oz. These beans are so moist, the smell is heavenly, and the caviar inside the beans is beautiful.
I'll never buy store-bought beans again. Get some today!

Wonderful beans.

Just got my beans and they smell and look fantastic. Bought some beans from the "A" store and they were not grade A. I can't wait to play with my beans. A whole year is going to seem like a decade.

Best beans

These are one of the best I've purchased. So fragrant and oily and just perfect beans. I do wish though that you get a full 2oz in the 2oz package. None of the packages I got were a full 2oz but the beans are perfect! Extract is brewing, I cannot wait to use it!

Thanks so much for the review Carolyn! If your beans are ever underweight, send us an email and we'll either refund the difference or send replacements to make sure you always get exactly what you order. Weighing beans can be a bit tricky given the oils and moisture that is often left in the pouch when they are removed. Here's an article to help make sure weights are accurate.
