Sumatra, or Planifolia vanilla beans from Indonesia are generally shorter, plumper, and contain a much higher oil and water content than Bourbon beans. The aroma is sweet flowery, earthy and woody with a smooth flavor. They are often described as smelling like a sweet with a unique smoky/woody flavor. These beans are similar to the Tahitian and Tonga vanilla beans, and are often a favorite when compared in blind taste tests. Gourmet pastry chefs love to work with the Planifolia and Tahitian (Tahitensis) variety, which are perfect for many applications.

The current lot of Indonesian vanilla beans are very plump, pliable and moist.
"Though Indonesia produced only commodity-grade beans for years, its offerings are on the upswing. The world's second-largest vanilla exporter now delivers beans that sit between Mexico's and Madagascar's in appearance and boast a distinctly raisiny, acidic, prune-like flavor. Try putting these beans to use in chocolate-based desserts like brownies or hot cocoa. The quality of Indonesian beans varies vastly, so buy them only from a trusted source."
