Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B vanilla beans?

Grade A beans are premium-quality: moist, oily, flexible, and visually perfect. They are ideal for gourmet use, infusions, and applications where appearance matters. Grade B beans are extract-grade — drier, shorter, and sometimes split — but equally aromatic and preferred for making vanilla extract.

How long do Grade A vanilla beans last?

Properly stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container, Grade A vanilla beans last 18–24 months. Avoid refrigerating — the moisture causes mould. See our storage guide for detailed tips.

Can I order export documents (Phytosanitary, COA, Certificate of Origin)?

Yes. A Phytosanitary Certificate, Certificate of Analysis (COA), and Certificate of Origin are all available on request. Simply mention this in your order notes or quote request.

What is the minimum order for a bulk quote?

Bulk quotes start at 10 kg. For quantities of 25 kg or more, we also offer price-locked recurring supply contracts with priority harvest allocation.
