The Nakuru - Kenya Vanilla Beans - Grade B Extract Grade Planifolia
We were able to get just a few pounds of grade B (extract grade) vanilla beans from a small farm in Kenya. Given the small quantity, we are offering them in 4oz sizes only.
These are dry, brittle pods. They may be cracked open and broken. They will have little to no external oil, but the oils are locked in the pods and they will make beautiful extracts. Sweet buttery vanilla with soft notes of plums and raisins.
Group buy products are bundled with other orders for additional savings, so they may not ship for 4-8 weeks. "Wait a little save a lot!"

Rare Kenya Grade B Extract Grade Vanilla
We were able to get just a few pounds of grade B (extract grade) vanilla beans from a small farm in Kenya. Given the small quantity, we are offering them in 4oz sizes only. These Grade B V. planifolia vanilla beans from Kenya offer traditional vanilla, buttery, creamy with notes of raisins aroma, and sweet vanilla, creamy, smooth, subtle plum and raisin taste flavor.
Perfect for Extract Making
These beans are wonderful for extract making, but since they are dry and brittle they can't be used in as many baking applications. They will provide you with an extract that is rich and beautiful. 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. Visit our spirit pairing guide for detailed recommendations.
