Premium Indonesian Vanilla Beans from Papua - The Jayapura

Discover the exceptional flavor of The Jayapura vanilla beans, sourced from the lush tropical region of Papua, Indonesia. These premium Grade A Indonesian vanilla beans offer a unique and complex flavor profile that sets them apart from traditional Madagascar bourbon vanilla, making them a favorite among extract makers and professional bakers.

(These are the same vanilla beans as our Papua Grade A Indonesian vanilla beans, but offered at a lower price and with a bundle option as a one-time "Special Buy". We name them The Jayapura to distinguish inventory.) 

Distinctive Indonesian Planifolia Vanilla Flavor Profile

These vanilla beans deliver a bold, exotic taste experience:

• Rich, earthy undertones - Deep, complex base notes unique to Indonesian terroir
• Sweet vanilla essence - Classic V. planifolia sweetness with tropical character
• Subtle smoky notes - Distinctive flavor that adds depth to extracts and baking
• Premium Grade A quality - Plump, moist, and oily beans for maximum flavor extraction

Perfect for Vanilla Extract Making & Gourmet Baking

These Indonesian vanilla beans are ideal for crafting homemade vanilla extract with bold, distinctive character. The high moisture content and natural oils ensure robust flavor whether you're making extract or using them whole in your favorite recipes.

For optimal extract results, age your vanilla extract up to 1 year for light spirits (vodka, white rum, gin) and 18 months to 2 years for dark spirits (bourbon, dark rum, brandy). Use a ratio of 1oz of beans for every 8oz of alcohol.

The Papua Region - Indonesian Vanilla Excellence

Named after Papua's capital city, The Jayapura vanilla beans benefit from Indonesia's unique growing conditions. The region's tropical climate, rich volcanic soil, and traditional curing methods create vanilla beans with bold, earthy character that distinguishes them from other origins. This is Indonesian vanilla at its finest.
