When I opened up the shipping envelope, the aroma of vanilla was so strong. It made me smile. It smelled great! I ordered these for baking. I can't wait to actually use them. They are over 6" in length and just as they should be. Soft, not dried out. The seller also packaged a coffee guide, a tea guide, a hot chocolate recipe and a product card. The beans were packaged very well. The aroma is the best part. I can't say enough about it.

Great smell, before and after the beans have been ground. I brew with a French Press, and the coffee turned out great! Flavor is unique and different, in a very good way. It's a very smooth coffee as well, with little to no bitterness that I can taste, even when it has been slightly over-steeped. I really have no complaints about this coffee, and I am fairly picky with my coffee, so I'm sure most everybody would be happy purchasing this coffee. It is also packaged very well, so nothing to worry about there. This is up there with the top small-batch coffee brands/roasters. Try it!

I received this pack of vanilla beans about a week ago. I was offered the beans in exchange for my honest review. The pack they came in was vacuum sealed but I could smell the beans through the packaging and they smelled amazing. I opened the pack and the beans were fresh and moist.

The first thing I did was look up a recipe for Vanilla ice cream which turned out delicious. So much better than with vanillin. Then I found a recipe online for Vanilla extract. We got a bottle of vodka that we put some beans in and shake once a day. It couldn't be easier to make and should be ready in about 6 weeks.

Yes these are a luxury but they're totally worth it for the amazing amount of vanilla extract you can make. These are high quality beans for a good price. Highly recommended.

I have purchased vanilla beans a long time. I must say the flavor intensity in the 1 1/2 inch piece I put in my homemade coconut milk was off the charts. Really delicious, true vanilla flavor. I have found some vanilla to almost have a rancidity or sourness, so I was hesitant to purchase and I was not disappointed.

Verry happy with the beans. I made 8 .5 liter bottles of Vanilla Extract which I plan to use as gifts, and have plenty left over to use for cooking/baking myself. I'd buy this product again and would recommend it to friends.

I ordered these beans on a Thursday morning, within two hours of placing my order I received an email telling me they had shipped. Today is Saturday and they are already here! These beans are beautiful. An added plus, not only are they relatively inexpensive (compared to purchasing in a store), they are extremely large and fragrant. Each bean is close to seven inches long and is extremely fragrant and moist. They are so fragrant that I knew they had arrived even before opening the package. I look forward to cooking with these and will definitely order again. Beautiful!

I received my vanilla beans and am VERY happy with them !  They are plump and moist, smell heavenly and just perfect!  I am going to make some creme brulee,  cookies and  extract;  can't wait!!! I am thinking of making extracts to give out for the holidays as well.  Highly recommend these Premium Bourbon-Madagascar Vanilla Beans.

McNulty's in the Village introduced me to this bean this summer. I was surprised how good it was. When I visited Bali many years ago, no coffee was grown there at that time to inform me. And frankly, I was suspicious of the bit too cute marketing in the name. Was it done to compensate for a mediocre product? My suspicions were entirely unfounded. We love this coffee! It is one of those beans that is satisfying just to smell as an open bag of beans. But unlike other beans we enjoy this way, we let this one linger longer, often a lot longer. It can be embarrassing to find oneself doing this to excess. You have been warned.

Do not be impressed when any company labels this bean as special because it is "Organic".  By Indonesian law, all Bali Blue Moon is organic. It is quite distinct in flavor from neighboring islands' Java and Sumatra coffee, although they too rank highly to me. Thankfully, this was also delivered very fresh and full of flavor.

Unlike my disappointment with another coffee retailed by this same company, the Bali Blue Moon roast was done exactly as disclosed, a medium roast. I like a wide variety of coffees but really do insist that I receive the roast that is advertised. Roasting is not an arbitrary process. Each bean will have a roast that is best in order to deliver the things you love about that particular coffee. As customers, it is a matter of trust that we get what we expect and that is based upon what is described. In theory, any coffee's roast should be easily disclosed by looking at the prominently displayed roast meter. It provides dual indicators: color patches from light to dark and an obvious meter indicator's selection. In case you missed these, the coffee beans are also photographed. Three indicators in total, graphic illustration, the moving hand of a meter, and photograph make it easy to understand what the roast looks like before you buy. At least that is how it is supposed to work. Read my review of their Panama Boquete to see what can happen when the company fails to follow its own roast color ratings. Thankfully, this was not the case with its Bali Blue Moon beans. It matters. For example, there is a faint, underlying, almost spicy flavor to Balinese coffee that would be lost if it was under or over roasted. Should another company decide to significantly under or over roast these beans, that is fine too because you could easily avoid buying it as long as those three indicators accurately informed you what was inside the bag. If you are going to sell coffee online you better not fool your customers by mislabeling the roast. There are no such surprises when you walk into physical stores and can see the actual beans.

I do not have any criticisms of this Bali Blue Moon coffee. You will know already if you tend to only drink the darkest roasts. If that is true, I would not recommend that you buy 5 pounds of a medium roast -- even of this exceptional quality -- coffee. Find a place to sample it first just to try it out before buying such a large amount.

If you enjoy what my wife and I love about this coffee, note that the price here for this large bag is very attractive at $40. It is offered here at half the price we have spent elsewhere for this bean. Highly recommended.

I have ordered vanilla beans from this seller a few times now. They are very fragrant and take my desserts to the next level. The price and quality are much better than anything you'll find at your local grocery store.

Delicious coffee! This is a 1 pound (16 oz) bag of whole beans-- so you'll need to grind these yourself at home.
The resealable bag feels airtight/moisture tight and should be fine for those who like to keep their beans in the freezer.

Wonderful aroma, both as beans and as grounds. Rich flavor and texture. Strong bodied but not bitter or acidic. I love strong coffee, and this is to my liking. No aftertaste.

I appreciate the in-depth info from TWO VOLCANOES about all the organic process and the absence of additives of any kind.

There's a whole interesting agricultural topic about the qualities & advantages of coffees grown in volcanic soil which is worth Googling.

Just delicious coffee. Sample bag sent for testing and impartial consumer review. All organic. I like it.

After reading how easy it is to make homemade vanilla extract, I finally took it upon myself to experiment and see if vanilla making was as easy as people say it was.  Short answer - make your own vanilla...it's bonehead easy.  The Vanilla Products Vanilla Beans are a really great value and the beans that I received were fresh and plump.  The smell of the beans were so aromatic that I could smell them as soon as I opened the package.  To make the vanilla extract, I simply sliced the beans once down the middle of the bean from top to bottom, them put them into a bottle before covering all the beans with vodka.  You can use rum or brandy instead of vodka for a different flavored vanilla.  Store the mixture of vanilla beans and alcohol in a cool, dark cabinet and shake occasionally.  The result after a few weeks will be a very aromatic vanilla that blows anything bought at a store out of the water.  In terms of price, you'll be getting a whole lot more vanilla extract for your buck, and if you start running low on vanilla extract, simply add more alcohol to the bottle.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of these beans for vanilla making.  The beans arrived well packaged, were fragrant and fresh, and were quite plump.  They steeped well when in vodka to make vanilla extract, and the flavor is fantastic.  I will definitely be purchasing from this company again in the future.

Wow, this coffee smells and tastes amazing! The aroma, the rich buttery taste...I am definitely purchasing again. Keep in mind that these are fresh whole coffee beans. So if you don't already have a coffee grinder, get one!
