Like all VanillaPura beans, the Avarua Cook Island beans are of the highest quality. They are plump, dark, extremely rich in oils and have a delicate and sweet floral fragrance that set them apart by any other beans. Their undertones are primarily a traditional vanilla aroma and taste when used for extract making, but with a soft hint of anise and cherry finish. Light spirits like vodka, white rum and tequila are best when using this bean in your DIY extracts.Β Β

The location of the Cook Islands tells the story of this remarkable bean. North West of Tahiti, South of Hawaii and quite a distance from Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, this tiny bean captures the essence of its remote location on our planet in a way that few other beans do.
