The planifolia orchid is native to the tropical forests of Veracruz, where vanilla was first cultivated centuries ago, and our beans still come from there.
They are deep and creamy, with notes of dried fruit and a warm spice that sets them apart from other planifolia origins. Complex, characterful and rare in the UK.
