VanillaPura's V. planifolia Vanilla Beans from Ghana are of the highest quality and boast a flavor that is unique to north-western tropical region of Africa, coupled with a rich vanilla taste. Quite different from vanilla beans grown in the Congo region and, perhaps, a little more similar to Tanzanian vanilla but with toffee and butterscotch aroma that surprised us on our first inspection.
(Ghana's location provides a new soil and climate experience that varies from our vanilla beans grown in Congo and Tanzania)Β
We named this vanilla bean after the beautiful Ghana town of Kintampo - a popular tourist destination for its peaceful waterfalls pictured below.Β
