Why Choose Thamak for Vanilla Supply?

Superior Flavor Profile

Initial Aroma - The first whiff hits you with a rich, creamy fragrance, balanced with sweet floral undertones that hint at freshly bloomed vanilla orchids. Taste - The flavor starts with a smooth, buttery vanilla bean essence, slightly woodsy and warm. You can almost taste the depth from the vanilla pods themselves, offering a subtle smokiness that gives it a full-bodied complexity. Mid-Taste - As the flavor lingers, you might notice a delicate hint of caramel and brown sugar, adding a perfect touch of sweetness without being overpowering. Finish - The aftertaste is velvety, with lingering floral and spiced undertones (think a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg), leaving you with a comforting and rounded sweetness.
Year-Round Freshness

Initial Aroma: The first sniff brings a light, airy vanilla scent—less rich and more clean and crisp, almost like freshly cut vanilla beans with a slight citrusy undertone that gives it an invigorating freshness. It’s sweet but not heavy, offering an immediate feeling of brightness. Taste: The flavor starts with a smooth, creamy vanilla that’s subtly sweet. It's not as deep and intense as darker, aged vanilla; instead, it carries a natural, slightly floral quality, with a touch of sweet cream. There’s a delicate balance between vanilla bean freshness and a soft, light vanilla sugar note that feels airy and bright. Mid-Taste: As you continue to savor, hints of fresh citrus or even a faint green leaf note emerge, reinforcing the idea of freshness and lightness. This is accompanied by a mild woody vanilla note, which adds just enough complexity without overshadowing the freshness.
Rich in Essential Oils

Initial Aroma: The scent is luxurious and bold, with a deep, rich vanilla essence that’s distinctly warm and inviting. It carries a slightly oily undertone, which adds to the fullness of the aroma—like smelling a freshly scraped vanilla pod. Taste: The initial flavor hits with a creamy, buttery vanilla that feels almost indulgent. The essential oils impart a deep, natural sweetness with a touch of smokiness—as if the vanilla has been slowly extracted to preserve all its robust, nuanced flavors. You can taste the essence of the beans themselves, giving it a full-bodied, round profile. Mid-Taste: As the flavor develops, there’s a smooth woody depth that complements the natural sweetness, with hints of caramel and brown sugar. The oils bring a soft, velvety richness that feels almost like a luxurious dessert. It’s not overly sweet but instead decadent, with the oils enhancing every layer of the flavor.
Ethically Sourced

Our Premium Vanilla Beans are sustainably and ethically sourced from small-scale farms located in regions known for their rich vanilla-growing heritage. These beans are hand-harvested at the peak of ripeness, ensuring a superior flavor profile. Each vanilla bean is carefully inspected, cleaned, and packaged to preserve its natural essence, offering a rich, aromatic flavor perfect for gourmet recipes, desserts, and beverages.
