It is on the tropical coast of Malabar in India, which is home to some of the most beautiful tea and pepper plantations in the world, that the Planifolia vanilla agroforestry plantations are located. We choose them rather long, 19cm on average, and fleshy. Their colours varies from deep black to dark brown, and they have intense flavors and aromas reminiscent of the peppers and spices of the region. These are productions which have developed quite largely in recent years and whose quality very well rivals Planifolia Bourbon Vanilla from Madagascar while being completely affordable. Another nice alternative to Bourbon Vanilla which enlarges again the diversity of the Vanilla terroirs.
