Cultivated in a reasoned way in French Polynesia, the Tahitensis Haapape vanilla species are harvested mature on the vines, washed and dried, before they are put in the sun for a few hours every day for at least 5 months. The pods are then massaged, calibrated and refined with great expertise. That's why Tahitensis species and sub-species from Polynesia are so renowned for their exceptional aromas and unique flavors, distinguishing them from the more commonly known Vanilla planifolia species.
 
Raiatea Tahitensis Haapape vanilla pods are longer again, well thick and oily with a glossy dark brown colour. Their size vary between 18 to 22 cm and average weight is about 12g.
