The Suva - Vanilla Beans from Fiji - For Vanilla Extract & Baking (Grade A)

A Rare Treasure from the South Pacific

The Suva represents one of the world's most exclusive vanilla offerings—a limited-harvest Fijian planifolia available only once or twice per year when conditions align perfectly in this remote island nation. When these beans arrive, they disappear quickly.

Why Fiji Vanilla is So Rare

Unlike Madagascar or Indonesia, Fiji produces vanilla in extremely limited quantities. The island's unique microclimate, volcanic soil, and traditional hand-pollination methods yield small harvests that are highly sought after by discerning bakers and extract makers worldwide. Most of Fiji's vanilla never leaves the Pacific region, making this offering exceptionally rare.

Best Extract Spirits

These beans shine in bourbon, vodka, dark rum, brandy, and cognac—creating extracts with remarkable depth and complexity that develop beautifully over time.

Limited Availability

Due to Fiji's small-scale production and unpredictable harvest windows, we can only secure these beans once or twice annually. When they're gone, the next opportunity may be months away. We recommend securing your supply while available.
