How to Use Sumatra Vanilla Beans
For Vanilla Extract: Use a ratio of 1 oz of beans for every 8 oz of alcohol. These beans shine in bourbon-based extracts, where their earthy, mocha notes complement the spirit's caramel undertones. Allow to age up to 1 year for light spirits or 18-24 months for dark spirits for optimal flavor development.
For Baking & Cooking: Split the bean lengthwise and scrape out the caviar (seeds) to infuse into custards, ice cream bases, cakes, cookies, and sauces. The spent pod can be added to sugar to create vanilla sugar or simmered in milk or cream for additional flavor extraction.

These have the delicious aroma of vanilla and raisins and are the most pliable beans I've purchased to date. I had a bottle of Blackberry Crown Royal ready for when the beans arrived. The first six ounces of the kilo are double-knotted and will be snoozing in 24 ounces of whiskey until the extract becomes Christmas gifts two or three years from now.
Smells so good and vanillin ^^
I bought Sumatra beans and decided to make vanilla bean paste with them. I made the paste and let it sit there for a month and all I can say is WOW! The paste is DELICIOUS!
Love These Beans.
I order them every chance I have
As with all of the different types of VinallaPura provides, I haven't found a type of Vanilla that I don't like. So many different varieties and flavors.
They smell wonderful! I have them extracting in Ketel One Peach flavor and can hardly wait to use it.
Great vanilla beans. This time I'm making paste.
They smell wonderful. Very plump and pliable.
I just now finished putting these in some Jeptha Creed 80% moonshine. They were a good size, soft and oily. The smell was great. I washed my hands really good after slicing them, but I can still smell vanilla on my fingers!!!!
Perfect quality and price as usual.
Smelled amazing!!! Cant wait for it to be ready
Great beans, the smell is outstanding. I they are going for a swim in golden rum. Keep up the good work.
The scent and the size of the beans is quite inpressive, along with the major plumpiness. The oils are amazing-vanilla sugar is on tap for those bags!
Beans look great! Haven't decided what to soak 'em in yet but looking forward to a year-2years from now to try it.
Beautiful Beans. Ready to swim in Vodka to get the true vanilla favor. I have not mrt a bean from Vanilla Pura thatI did not like. One of the best companies to purchase beans and one of the best group to learn all things vanilla.
Love Sumatra beans! There is a bottle of Woodford Reserve Bourbon waiting 😁
So happy to get it in the mail today!!cant wait to make a new batch😁
I love these beans. This is my second purchase of the Jambi Beans. Will definitely buy more when on sale again.
The best vanilla bean supplier ever...
Love these beans! They are very oily will be sent swimming in some Kraken Black! Thank you for always proving excellent beans at great prices! Highly recommend!
Thank you
I love these beans! They are so moist and oily. I plan to set them extracting in Captain Morgan coconut rum. I've made this combination before and it was a fan favorite! Thanks VanillaPura for continuing to provide the best of the best vanilla beans!
These beans were oily, long, and beautiful! I can’t wait to sink them in some spiced rum, or make paste, or both!
I love the Indonesian beans. The Sumatra i have used in the past. I love the hint of cocoa and mocha. I have mixed them with other beans and used by themselves. I have used them mostly with a local vodka or Captain Morgan White Rum. This time I think I will put them in Jack Daniels Sour Mash Whiskey. I made an extract with another Indonesian bean and it is great!
Beautiful beans with a sweet, bold aroma and flavor panel.
Oh, my goodness gracious these beans are gorgeous! I'm also thankful they were packaged in separate 1oz packages in case I want to make two or more different extracts. The oils in the packages are amazing and I can hardly wait for my brain to make a decision as to what fantastic concoction will be created. Thank you!
Wonderful beans, so fragrant and pliable! Perfect for my needs.
These are beautiful and aromatic vanilla beans!
1. Where's the aroma??? 2. Short on weight by .06 oz in a 2 oz package. I ordered 2 packages and both were short weighted. 3. these would barely qualify as having 30% moisture if you ask me. 4. of the 6 vendors I ordered from on the same day, this one charged me for delivery and they were the last ones delivered. 5. Of the 6 vendors and 12 packages of vanilla beans, VanillaPura comes in 11th and 12th for service, quality, and value.
