This Grade-A vanilla bean from Papau New Guinea, is one of the most sweet, floral and delicate vanilla beans that we have encountered. This vanilla bean is of the Tahitensis species, making it more floral, fruity and sweet. We named this bean after Kerema, a beautiful, quaint, tropical port town on the Central Western side of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
