Welcome to East Sepik

Vanilla beans from East Sepik, Papua New Guinea are known for their rich and intense flavor. The vanilla beans are grown in the fertile soil of the East Sepik region, where the warm, tropical climate provides the perfect conditions for vanilla to thrive.

In recent years, the demand for vanilla beans from East Sepik has increased significantly, as more and more people have discovered the unique flavor that they offer. However, due to the limited supply and the labor-intensive process of growing and harvesting vanilla beans, they can be difficult to get.

The Ultra Rare Tahitensis Bean from East Sepik

These East Sepik Gourmet Tahitian Vanilla beans are hand selected from the finest curing processes by our micro farmers in PNG’s East Sepik province and are certified Grade A, premium quality vanilla beans. Grade A vanilla beans are visually attractive and can be used as a feature ingredient in gourmet cuisine. These beans add a smooth rich background taste- use to balance sauces for shellfish, chicken, and veal or soften dairy flavors in desserts. Add to a mug of hot chocolate, coffee, or tea for added richness.

Divine Aromas and Flavoring

Are you a pastry chef, restaurateur, baker, ice cream maker, cooking school or just passionate about cooking with the highest quality vanilla pods? You have come to the right place! The vanilla beans from East Sepik are prized for their distinct flavor profile, which features notes of chocolate, caramel, and a hint of spice. They are often used in baking, confectionery, and gourmet cooking.

The Vanilla Bean Rarity Index > Ultra Rare

The Vanilla Bean Rare Index classifies beans according to their rarity based on location, farmer, and vanilla bean type. These Tahitensis Vanilla Beans from East Sepik are grown from a single region by farmers in very remote areas. According to the Vanilla Bean Rarity Index they are classified as Ultra Rare Vanilla.

Storage of Vanilla Beans

Store the fresh vanilla beans in a tightly sealed airtight container, preferably a glass jar. Keep them away from heat and in a dark place such as a pantry or dark cabinet. Do not refrigerate the beans because this can cause them to mold. Once you split the vanilla pods open with a knife or kitchen scissors and scrape out the vanilla seeds, put the leftover pods in sugar to make vanilla sugar.

Overall, if you're looking for a premium vanilla bean with a unique and complex flavor, East Sepik vanilla beans are definitely worth considering.

I bought small quantities from Native Vanilla and another large Internet seller and the Native Vanilla beans were far superior. While as an agricultural product variation is natural, the Native Vanilla beans were more plump, more consistent in size, and none of the Native Vanilla beans were skinny, shriveled and dry. I bought a half pound based on my sample buy and was very happy with them. Most went to vanilla extract with 100 proof Rhum Agricole as the solvent, and the balance to softening well aged Bourbon whiskey.

I am a returning customer and very pleased once again with my recent “beans” purchase. I make my own vanilla extract, the quality and flavor of Native Vanilla beans is exceptional, and my extract is delicious. In addition, I am committed to businesses that nourish local farmers, practice safe work ethic and offer fair wages. Thank you

I have ordered from NV many times, have always received quality beans in great packaging. I made both vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste from Tahitian beans. Both are excellent for anything I am baking.
