Indonesian vanilla origins: Bali, Alor and Papua
Premium Planifolia whole beans from three origins. See how each origin’s terroir shapes the cured bean, how QR-linked lot traceability works, and how to match an origin to your application.
Same species, different terroir
All three origins grow Vanilla planifolia. What separates a Bali lot from an Alor or Papua lot is everything around the vine: soil, rainfall, plot altitude, pollination discipline and the curing station’s sweating and drying rhythm.
That is why we sell single-origin lots rather than anonymous blended stock — each lot is tied to one origin, one harvest window and one set of lab-tested COA specifications.
- Origin shapes curing conditions and moisture behaviour in transit
- Origin shapes aroma profile and the price you can justify
- Vanillin varies by harvest and curing batch, not just by island
Three single origins
Real, repeatable variation between origins, even at the same grade.
Pricing by origin and grade

A QR code on every lot
Every export lot carries a QR code on the master carton and lot certificate. Scanning it opens the lot’s traceability record, which matches the paper documents in your shipment file. Each partnership is also documented in photographs that travel with the lot paperwork.
- Origin island and district
- Partner farm identity and harvest window
- Curing station and curing dates
- Laboratory results for moisture and vanillin

Origin questions
What is the practical difference between Bali, Alor and Papua vanilla?
All three grow Planifolia, so differences come from terroir and curing. Bali offers the most mature curing infrastructure and consistent presentation, Alor’s dry climate produces firm, concentrated pods in limited volumes, and Papua has the greatest room to scale.
Do you publish vanillin content for each origin?
We publish measured vanillin per lot, not per origin, because vanillin varies with harvest window and curing batch. Every lot ships with a laboratory COA stating measured vanillin and moisture, also shown in the QR traceability record.
What is the minimum order for a single-origin lot?
Sample sets and trial quantities are available on request. Because Alor allocations are limited, we confirm minimums per harvest rather than publishing a fixed MOQ — send us your target volume for current options.
Which documents accompany an export shipment?
Vanilla is traded under HS code 0905. Shipments carry phytosanitary documentation through official Indonesian quarantine channels, plus invoice, packing list, lot COA and the traceability dossier, prepared as a country-specific set.
Can I combine origins in one shipment?
Yes. Each origin remains a separate lot with its own COA and QR record, so combining origins in one container never means blending them in one bag.
