Vanilla tahitiensis otherwise known as Tahitian Vanilla is cultivated mostly along the arable lands of the south pacific especially French Polynesia-Tahiti, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. The Tahitian Vanilla, unlike the Madagascar Bourbon species (Vanilla planifolia) is rare; it's only a small fraction of the world's natural vanilla production and deservedly nicknamed "the Queen of Vanilla". It has a floral taste and fragrance, different from the Madagascar Bourbon species. The bean pod is also stouter (plumper) than the Madagascar Bourbon species, and have higher oil and moisture content. Vanilla bean pods are graded after they are cured, conditioned and ready for use. The grading is based on moisture content, length of the pod and lack of dehiscence/wholesomeness of appearance. High moisture content, long, oily and dark seed pods with no splits/dehisces are given the highest grade, A, the Gourmet grade. These Extract Exclusive Grade pods are short or thin or have splits but still aromatic.
