French Polynesian vanilla is an aromatic treasure that combines history, culture and a unique artisanal process. Originally from Mesoamerica, it arrived in Tahiti in the 19th century and adapted to its climate and volcanic soils, giving rise to the coveted Vanilla tahitensis. On the island of Taha’a, vanilla plantations offer a sensory experience that connects visitors with the tradition and care behind each pod. More than just a scent, it is a living legacy.
