A Symphony of Latin American Vanilla Flavors - 3 Species and 3 Different Origins

Mexican Planifolia Vanilla Beans bring bold, creamy notes with hints of spice and a smooth, rich character that forms the foundation of this blend. Known as the birthplace of vanilla, Mexican beans offer a classic vanilla flavor with warm undertones.

Ecuadorian Tahitensis Vanilla Beans contribute floral, fruity notes with a delicate sweetness and complex aroma. These beans add brightness and depth, creating layers of flavor that evolve as your extract ages.

BIG Peruvian Pompona Vanilla Beans deliver a sweet, earthy and slightly fruity rich vanilla experience. They provide balance and grounding to the blend, rounding out the brighter notes from Ecuador and Mexico.

Why This Blend Works

These three vanilla origins create a harmonious balance—the boldness of Mexican vanilla, the floral complexity of Ecuadorian, and the earthy depth of Peruvian beans work together to produce a full-bodied extract with remarkable depth and character. Each bean enhances the others, creating a flavor profile greater than the sum of its parts.

Celebrate with Regional Spirits

We recommend making this summer solstice extract with rum or reposado tequila—spirits that share the same terroir as these vanilla beans. Mexican reposado tequila brings agave sweetness and oak complexity that complements the spice notes in Mexican vanilla. Caribbean or Latin American rum adds molasses richness and tropical warmth that enhances the fruity, floral notes from Ecuador and Peru.

Using spirits from the same regions where these vanilla beans are grown creates an authentic, place-based extract that honors the land, the people, and the traditions of vanilla cultivation. It's a true celebration of Latin American flavor.

Recommended ratio: 1oz of beans for every 8oz of alcohol
Aging time: Up to 1 year for light spirits or 18 months to 2 years for dark spirits (dark rum, reposado tequila)

This artisan vanilla blend captures the essence of the summer solstice—a time of abundance, celebration, and the peak of the sun's power. Perfect for bakers, home extractors, and vanilla enthusiasts seeking a unique, premium vanilla extract experience.
