Vanilla Tahitensis

Tahitian vanilla beans from Indonesia are generally shorter, plumper, and contain a much higher oil and water content than Bourbon beans. The aroma is flowery, fruity with a smooth flavor. They are often described as smelling like licorice, cherries, or wine. Gourmet pastry chefs love to work with the Tahitian (Tahitensis) variety, which are perfect for many applications. although vanilla Tahitensis has a shorter size than Vanilla planifolia, the sharpness of its aroma is much sharper than that of the Planifolia.
