OUR PRODUCTION
From Farm to Flavor:
Our Vanilla Journey
Discover our process of selecting and processing vanilla beans sourced directly from experienced growers. We work closely with trusted farmers to ensure only the finest beans are expertly cured and prepared with precision and care.
Sourcing,
Selecting the
Finest Beans
Our vanilla beans are sourced from various regions across Indonesia, including Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sulawesi, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Timur, and other fertile lands. Indonesia’s tropical climate and nutrient-rich soil create the perfect environment for vanilla cultivation. We work closely with local farmers, many of whom have cultivated vanilla for generations, ensuring sustainable sourcing and proper farming techniques.
Vanilla orchids require careful hand pollination, a delicate and time-sensitive process done by skilled farmers. After pollination, the beans take around 8 to 9 months to fully develop before harvesting. Only mature beans are selected to maintain optimal flavor and aroma.
Where Our
Vanilla Beans
Originate from
We work closely with our farmers to ensure responsible farming practices that protect the environment and support local communities. This dedication allows us to deliver vanilla products that meet the highest standards, bringing authentic Indonesian flavor to customers worldwide.
Processing and Quality Control
Quality is at the core of our process. From sourcing to packaging, we ensure our vanilla meets industry standards. Our beans are 100% naturally processed and sun-cured, preserving their rich aroma and high vanillin content.
Careful quality control, including sorting, moisture checking, and grading, ensures consistency. With decades of expertise, our team ensures precision at every stage. During peak harvest, we hire over 30 daily workers to handle high volumes while maintaining quality.

Sourcing
We source our green vanilla beans from carefully selected Indonesian
farmers, ensuring quality and supporting local, sustainable agriculture.
2 / 9
Selection & Sorting
Upon arrival at our facility, the green vanilla beans undergo a selection process. Our trained staff inspects each batch, sorting the beans based on size, shape, and quality.
3 / 9
Killing/Boiling
The curing process begins with a brief boiling of the green vanilla beans in hot water, halting further maturation and initiating the development of their rich aroma and flavor.
4 / 9
Sweating
After boiling, the beans are wrapped and placed in a controlled environment. This crucial step retains moisture and promotes the development of the beans’ deep, complex flavor.
5 / 9
Sun Drying
Following the sweating phase, the beans are sun-dried over several weeks to gradually reduce moisture, preventing mold growth, and locking in their rich natural flavor.
6 / 9
Air Drying
Sun-dried beans then undergo controlled indoor drying to slowly reach ideal moisture, preserving flavor and ensuring quality. Our team monitors this process for the desired rich flavor and smooth texture.
7 / 9
Grading
Once air-dried, the beans are carefully graded according to their size, appearance, moisture content, and overall quality to ensure they meet the diverse needs of our clients.
8 / 9
Conditioning
Graded beans are then conditioned in boxes for months, allowing flavors to mature and reach peak aroma before packaging.
9 / 9
Quality Inspection
During conditioning, the beans are inspected at 7 days, 21 days, and then every 30 days, with defective beans removed at each stage. After 3 months, a final inspection is conducted to ensure export quality.
